on account of its quick Growth, 

 the Earlinefs of its coming out, 

 the Noblencfs of its Leaves, and 

 the Beauty of its Flowers, being a 

 line Plant both for Shade and Or- 

 nament, This delights in aftrong, 

 hearty Soil, but will do well in 

 any tolerable Soil, if good Care be 

 taken in the Planting of it. 



Fourthly, The Co?nmon Chefnut 

 will do well in a proper Soil, and 

 will rife to a conlidcrable Height 

 if planted cloic together, but if it 

 be planted iingly, where the Tree 

 can take its own natural Shape, 

 it is rather inclin'd to fpread and 

 grow globous than tall. 



Fifthly, The Beech is recom- 

 mended by Ibmc, but this fcldom 

 fucceeds well after tranfplanting, 

 without extraordinary Care, tho' it 

 arrives to a very large Tree in 

 many Places in Enghxnd where it 

 grows naturally, and is the moft 

 tedious and troubleiome to raife to 

 any tolerable Size in a Nurfery 

 V\'ay. 



Sixthly, ThtAbele. This indeed 

 grows more difpers'd and loofe in 

 its Head than any of the former, 

 and confequently is worfe for De- 

 fence ; but yet IS not to be left out 

 from the Number of Trees for 

 Avenues, becaufe it is the quickefl 

 in Growth of all the Foreft Trees, 

 and will thrive tolerably well in al- 

 moil any Soil, and particularly m 

 wet Ground where few of the be- 

 fore-mention'd Trees will thrive: 

 And this feldom fails in tranfplant- 

 ing. 



Seventhly, The Oak •■, but this is 

 feldom ufed in planting Avenues, be- 

 caufe it requires fo long a time to 

 raife it up to any tolerable Stature 

 in the Nurfery Way ; nor is it apt 

 to thrive much after it has been 

 tranfplanted if at any Bignels, 



As for the Alder i Afo, and S^ca- 



A u 



more, they are but rarely ufed for 

 planting Avenues. 



AURANTIUMj The Orange- 

 Tree. 



The Characters are i 



The Leaves have two Lobes or 

 Appendages at their Bafe, which are 

 like Ears, and cut in Form of a, 

 Heart ; the 'Bruit is round and de=- 

 -fre/s'd, and of a yello-a> Colour vphen 

 ripe; in which it differs from the 

 Citron and Lemon.

 of thefe Trees preferv'd in the Gar- 

 dens of the Curious i to enumerate 

 them all would be too tedious in 

 this Place, I Ihall therefore only 

 mention the bell known Sorts, and 

 proceed to their Cultufe.
