enclos d, the Ufe and the happy Profpe<3: of 

 noble Timber of Lawns for Pofteirity. 



F rom what has here and elfewhere been 

 advancd on this Subjed, we fhali fin4 that 

 the Account will ftand thus, (vjz.) for all 

 Avenue^, regular Walks, Platoons, d^c. inq- 

 pen expos'd GiQnni.Englip Elm is or ought t^ 

 be preferred 5 and Lirae, top much us'd by 

 fome, ought to be caft out every-wherej as vf 

 no manner of Ufe. Fir wiJl likewife tnak^ 

 a handfome Walk. 



For promifcous Plantations , Thickets , 

 Woods, and Coppices 5 Oak, Beech, Horn- 

 beam, Maple, Witch and Dutch Elm, &c. 

 a Mixture of Fir, &c. This, if the Ground 

 be dry and ftfong ^ but if wet, Abeal^ Al- 

 der, Willow, and Oak, if fow'd naturaliy, 

 and according as has been before taught, is* 

 better. 



Afb is what moft People chufe to plant 

 in Hedges ^ but this I cann t but mightily 

 condemn, for 'tis a very inhofpitable Plant, 

 and whenever the Hedge comes to be a little 

 old and thin (which Afli, being fet therein, 

 forwards very much) there is nothing but 

 Gaps, and 'tis a hard matter ever to recover 

 it 3 fo pernicious is Afli, or indeed (tho* not 

 in fo great a degree) are all forts of Trees 5 

 I therefore rather advife in this cafe to plant 

 what Trees the Owner defigns for the Shelter 

 of his Ground, ten or fifteen Foot diftance from 

 the Hedge, it will be a good Shade for his 

 Cattle, and will not fpoii his Hedge.
