The Timber is of great Ufe to 

 Turners for making Trenchers, 

 Difhes, Trays, Buckets; and like- 

 wife to the Joyner for Stools, 

 Bedfteads, Coffers, ^c. The Maft 

 is very good to fat Swine and 

 Deer \ it alfo affords a fweet Oil, 

 and hath in fome Families fupported 

 Men with Bread. 



The two Sorts with variegated 

 Leaves, may be propagated by 

 budding or grafting them upon 

 the common Buch, obferving not 

 to plant them in a good Earth, 

 which will caufe the Buds or Cyons 

 to fhoot vigoroufly, whereby the 

 Leaves will become plain, which 

 often happens to mod variegated 

 Plants.

FENCES. In hotter Climates 

 than EngUndy where they have not 

 Occafion for Walls to ripen their 

 Fruit, their Gardens lie open, where 

 they can have Water Fences and 

 Profpeds; or elfe they bound their 

 Gardens with Groves, in which 

 are Fountains, Walks, &>c. which 

 are much more pleafmg to the 

 Sight than a dead Wall : but in 

 colder Countries and in England 

 we are oblig'd to have Walls to 

 {belter and ripen our Fruit, altho' 

 they take away much from the 

 pleafant Profpedt of the Garden. 



Since therefore we are under a 

 Neceffity to have Walls to fecure 

 our Gardens from the Injury of 

 Winds, as well as for the Conve- 

 niency of Partitions or Incloiures, 

 and alio to ripen our Fruit, Brick- 

 Walls are accounted the warmefl: 

 and beft tor Fruit : And thefe Walls 

 being built Pannel-wife, with Pil- 

 lars at equal Diftances, will fave a 

 great deal of Charge ; in that the 

 Walls may be built thinner, than 

 if they were built plain without 



F E 



thefe Pannels ; for then it would 

 be neceffary to build them thicker 

 cvcry-where : and befides, thefe 

 Pannels make the Walls look the 

 handfomer. 



Stone-Walls are to be preferr'd to 

 thofe of Brick, efpecially thofe of 

 Iquare-hewn Stones. Thole that 

 are made of rough Stones, though 

 they are very dry and warm, yet, 

 by reafon oF their Unevennefs, are 

 inconvenient to nail up Trees to, 

 except Pieces of Timber be laid in 

 them, here and there, for that 

 Purpofc , 



But in large Gardens it is better 

 to have the Profpedt open to the 

 Pleafure-Garden, which fhould be 

 either furrounded with Water, or 

 a Fofle, fo that from the Garden 

 the adjacent Country may be 

 view'd. 



A Kitchen -Garden, if rightly 

 contrived, will contain Walling c- 

 nough to afford a Supply of fuch 

 Fruits as require the Alfiftance of 

 Walls for any Family ; and this 

 Garden being lituated on one Side 

 of the Houfe, may be furrounded 

 with Walls, which will skreen the 

 Kitchen-herbs from the Sight of 

 Perfons in the Pleafure-Garden; 

 and being lock'd up intire, the 

 Fruit will be much better prelerv'd 

 than it can be in the publick Gar- 

 den : And the having too great a 

 Quantity of Walling, is often the 

 Occaiion that fo many fcandalous 

 Trees arc frequently to be feen in 

 large Gardens, where there is not 

 due Care obferv'd in their Manage- 

 ment. 



And befides, the Borders of Piea- 

 fure- Gardens are generally too nar- 

 row for the Roots of Fruit-Trees, 

 as will be fhewn in its proper 

 Place. 



The Height of Garden -Walls 

 fliould be twelve Feet, which is a
