THAT I have frequently inserted divers Historical and 

 other Passages, apposite, agreeable to the Subject (abstain- 

 ing from a number more which I might have added) let it 

 be remember d that I did not altogether compile this Work 

 for the sake of our ordinary Rustics, (meer Foresters and 

 Wood-men) but for the more Ingenious ; the Benefit, and 

 Diversion of Gentlemen, and Persons of Quality, who often 

 refresh themselves in these agreeable Toils of Planting, and 

 the Garden : For the rest, I may perhaps in some places 

 have made use of (here and there) a Word not as yet so 

 familiar to every Reader ; but none, that I know of, which 

 are not sufficiently explained by the Context and Discourse. 

 That this may yet be no prejudice to the meaner Capacities, 

 let them read for 



Ablaqueation, laying bare the Roots. 



Amputation, cutting quite off. 



Arborator, Pruner, or one that has care of the Trees. 



Avenue, the principal Walk to the Front of the House or Seat. 



Bulbs, round or Onion-shap'd Roots. 



Calcine, burn to Ashes.

Contrespaliere, a Palisade or Pole-hedge. 



Coronary Garden, F/0w?r-Garden.
