4S6 ^ The Pleasure, ^r [Oft. 



The box is to be planted in this trench clofe againft 

 the upright fide next the line, placing the plants fo near 

 together as to form immediately a clofe compad edging 

 without being too thick and clumfey, and with the top 

 of the plants as even as polTible, all an equal height not 

 more than an inch above the furface of the line : and as 

 you proceed in planting draw the earth up to the outfide 

 of the plants, which fixes them in their due pofition ; 

 snd. when you have planted the row out, then with your 

 fpade trim the earth up alraoll to the top of the plants, 

 and tread it neatly and evenly to them; and when the 

 edging is planted, let any unequalities of the top be cut 

 as even and neat as poffible with a pair of fliears,

 being broken and fpread about, will readily itick all to 

 the roller, by which means the furface of the grafs will 

 be rendered very clean, firm, and fmcoth. 



Let ail parts of the grafs walks and lawns, be at this 

 time kept clean from the fallen leaves of trees, con- 

 ftautly fweeping them clean off.
