4 SO ON THE PROFESSION OK A GARDENER. 



there is little to be done in working againft nature ; 

 and to the moft attentive and fkilful in the art of gar- 

 dening, accidents will fometimes happen, that might 

 have been prevented. M In the work of a garden there 

 is no fuch thing as always proceeding with certainty, 

 and infuring fuccefs." 



A gentleman fhould confider that he who furniflies 

 him with fruits and vegetables, almoft lives in the 

 garden ; and that he cannot relax in his duty without 

 his neglect being manifejl, by ferious confequences fol- 

 lowing it. There is Away&fimcthing for him to do, that 

 muft be done now, to fow, plant, prune, drefs, &c. &c. 

 " Whoever will give himfelf the pains to trace a good 

 gardener through the feveral Itages of his employ, m 

 all feafons of the year, will find it to be one continued 

 circle of labour and toil." 



A gardener is, in many refpe&s, differently fitu- 

 ated to the other fervants about a gentleman's houfe, 

 and thefe difcriminating circumftances, are what may 

 be faid (according to general eftimation) not to his 

 advantage. A gardener has reafon, indeed, to love 

 his employment, as he meets with health and tran- 

 quillity in the exercife of it; but confidering what he 

 is, and what he does, in his proper capacity, he may 

 juftly claim a fuperior degree of eftimation and re- 

 wara.
