PREFACE 



TO THE THIRD EDITION. 



SINCE the publication of the Second 

 Edition of this Work, in March 1798, 

 many important Difcoveries have been 

 made in Gardening. The Author, in a 

 pretty extenfive practice, as a Defigner of 

 Gardens, Hot-Houfes, &c., has had an op- 

 portunity of minutely obferving, and has 

 carefully attended to, every valuable im- 

 provement 3 whether in the conftrudion of 

 Hot-Houfes, &c., or in the Culture of the 

 different Plants treated of. He therefore 

 fubmits this Edition to the Public, enlarged 

 and greatly improved ; with the hope that 

 it will, like the two former, be favourably- 

 received.
