 one another. I will not prefume to fay 

 who are right or who are wrong, but I 

 (hall give fome directions that 'are ve*ry dif- 

 ferent ; and I fix my opinion on this 

 ground, that is, by comparing mod of the 

 capital nurferies in England, which are 

 managed by a fet of men knowing in their 

 profefiion, and whofe bufmefs it is to 

 have all kinds of trees in perfection. 



IT is not intended to give directions for 

 making a nurfery fit to raife all the curious 

 trees and plants that are introduced into 

 England, and which thrive very well when 

 taken from the nurferies where they are 

 raifed with fkill and art, and when they 

 are carried into very different foils and 

 fituations all over the country thrive very 

 well ; that would be a talk too elaborate 

 for the brevity of this treatife ; befides it 

 would be too expenfive for gentlemen, as- 

 it is the quantity that makes it worth the 

 ingenious nurferyman's trouble and care 



to cultivate fuch plants.
