tlie Sight, ( efpecially in "Winter ) 

 they leidom thrive well together; 

 fo that thole Quarters where you 

 intend to have Ever-greens, fhould 

 be wholly planted therewith 5 and 

 in the other Parts, mix as many 

 Varieties of different Trees which 

 caft their Leaves, as you can con- 

 veniently; and alfo plant fome of 

 the largeft growing Flowers, (efpe- 

 cially near theOutfide of the Quar- 

 ters) which will add greatly to the 

 Variety, if they have but Air 

 enough to grow. 



Thefe Bofqnets are proper only 

 for fpacious Gardens, being expen- 

 live in their firft making, as alfb 

 in keeping.

There are feveral other Varieties 

 of Cabbages which are preferv'd in 

 curious Botanick Gardens, which 

 differ in their Manner of Growth, 

 Colour, ^c. But thofe I have 

 mention'd being the principal Sorts; 

 which are cultivated for Ufe, I 

 fhall omit mentioning the other lefs 

 valuable Sorts in this Place, and 

 proceed to their Culture. 



The common white, red, flat,' 

 and long-lided Cabbages are chiefly 

 cultivated for Winter Ufe : The 

 Seeds of thefe Sorts mufl be fown 

 in the middle of March, in Beds 

 of good frefh Earth, and in April, 

 when the young Plants will have 

 about eight Leaves; they fhould be 

 prick'd out into fhady Borders i 

 about three Inches fquare ; that 

 they may acquire Strength, and 

 to' prevent their growing long 

 fhank'd. 



About the Middle of May, you 

 muft tranfplant them out, where 

 they are to remain for good, 

 (which in the Kitchen-Gardens 

 near London, is commonly between 

 CoUijlowers, Artichokes, &c. at a- 

 bout two Feet Diflance in the 

 Rows); but if they are planted, 

 for a fill! Crop in a clear Spot of 

 Ground, the Diftante from Row- 

 to Row fhould be three Feet, and
