448 THE VILLA GARDENER. 



tion, at rr. Two other avenues (s s) are interrupted, by omitting the lines of 

 trees in that portion of them which would pass the front of the house, and 

 would have obstructed its view; but this interruption will not materially 

 ii)jure the effect from the points p p in the kitchen-garden and the bosquet. 

 Certain avenues are carried through the arable lands exterior to the park or 

 paddock, in order to show that the proprietor's property extends on every 

 side. At 1 1, these avenues border the natural wood; but, in the other places, 

 they are carried through the middle of corn-fields, the ground under the trees 

 being kept in grass. At i; « are woods, that is, standard trees, with coppice- 

 wood beneath them for the protection of game ; at w w are hop-grounds ; 

 at XX, orchards; at y y, gardens to the entrance lodges (not shaded by the 

 trees of the avenues, as such gardens too frequently are, but fully exposed to 

 the south) ; and at z is a single row of trees, which is carried along the public 

 road as far as the property extends. The farmery in this design is supposed 

 to be situated on the opposite side of the road, and is not shown in the plan ; 

 but several of the arable fields belonging to it are seen on the east and west 

 boundaries of the park.
