^ Of rural and extenfive Gardening. 

 Place, to contrive how to raife it, and, 

 which is of the greateft Importance of all, 

 to make it appear at once as large as one 

 can ; for the greateft Difcouragcment moft 

 People meet with, is, that a great while they 

 muft live in Expeftation, when they begin 

 lo raife Wood *, efpecially, if it be froni 

 Seed, which is Vv'hat in this Cafe muft be 

 done. 



When yoa come, therefore, into an Eftate, 

 that is bare of Wood, and there are only 

 iingle Hedges that crofs and divide the En- 

 clofures, meafure out either of one fide 

 the Hedge, or the other, twenty five Foot, 

 or, if you will, thirty Foot 5 for I have not 

 been exaft as to that, in any of my Defigns, 

 .(^the Scale being fmall) and, having a Hedge 

 or Fence on one fide, you muft begin to 

 throw up another on the other fide 5 and 

 taving plough'd your Land (for there is 

 no end of digging) and Jet it lie fallow to 

 iweetcn, and to break the Clods, and be 

 alfo weil harrow'd, the Walk being prepared 

 for Gravel, or Sand by throwing there out 

 with a Spade, as foon as the Maft in th^ 

 Wood is ripe, begin to fow, and to be 

 fare fow thick enough, the Maft cofts little,; 

 and, if they come up too thick, 'tis no harder 

 ' a matter to thin them, than 'tis to thin Tur- 

 nips. And you are obliged to mow the 

 Ground the next Year, however, to dear 

 the Weeds from your young Seedlings 5 this
