CH. I.] GARDEN LAND. 319 



That many kinds of kitchen vegetables 

 do as well (if not better) in an open field- 

 garden, as in one that is inclofed with 

 high walls, and flickered, and perhaps fha- 

 ded, with trees, is an undeniable fad: : and, 

 were it not for the production of the finer 

 fruits, there would be little ufe in rearing 

 garden-walls at all. But the ground thus 

 inclofed is certainly, occupied with more 

 propriety in the production of vegetables 

 than of any other crop, 



And, as it is prefumed, the ground thus 

 inclofed is to be occupied as a garden many 

 years ; that the walls have been built at a 

 confiderable expence 3 that the ground is 

 trenched, walks made and laid out at a 

 confiderable expence alfo ; and that, above 

 all, it is defirable to have a fupply of 

 wholefome vegetables for the ufe of the 

 kitchen, while the ground is thus occu- 

 pied ; I (hall drop a few hints on the me- 

 thod of obtaining this end, and which I 

 have partly pradtifed * with iuccefs. 



Firft, 



* I fay partly pra&ifed, becaufe the operation of it 

 requires many years, and it has happened, (by my 

 change of fituation), to be out of my power to follow it 



fully
