z\6 Of Woods and Groves^ &c. 



when we come to fpeak of Parks and Avenues. 

 But now to purfue the Thread of our Inftru- 

 aions. 



In this Cafe the Planter fhould therefore 

 choofe fuch a Number for his Diftance as the 

 Nature of his Tree requires : If it be for 

 Dwarf-Fruit, 13 Foot will do 5 if Standard- 

 Fruit, 17, 19, or 21, and, fometimes, in 

 rank-good Ground 25 Foot ^ but, if it be for 

 Foreft-Trees, which is at prefent our fuppos'd 

 Cafe, (tho' the general Scale does not admit 

 it) then they ought to be at leaft 27, 29, or 

 fometimes 31 Foot 5 and, by this Means, if 

 you fqiiare out your Ground exaclly,and plant 

 the outer Rows firft, all the reft will range 

 quite thro' your Defign. 



And if it be an Avenue, or there are Walks 



paffing thro' ir, you muft always make the 



middle Width exaftly two, three, or four 



Times the Width of the common Diftance of 



your Trees : Thus, for Example, if your 



Tre€sareat3i Foot Diftance, your VValk, 



if it be about 100 Foot in the Delign, muft 



be redac'd to 93 Foot, which is three times 



the; common Diftance of your Trees ^ and 



then let your Avenue be wider or narrower, 



or the Ground be near a Level, your Trees 



will range every Way. In order to this, you 



ought to be very exad in fquaring and meafu- 



nng out your Diftances, or you 11 be piizzled. 



When you plant, therefore, in the Qinn- 



canci^l Manner^ as in the ift Figure of the 



Tiext Plate, you are to allov^r about 2 5 Foot a-
