The firft of thefe Plants is very 

 common upon dry Heaths, in di- 

 vers Parts of England, but has been 

 introduced into Gardens, and wras 

 formerly in great Requeft for Ever- 

 green Hedges- Yet as it is very 

 lubje£t to decay in Patches, and 

 thereby renders fuch Hedges very 

 unlightly, as alfb being very trou- 

 blefbmc to fheer, they have been 

 of late almoft intirely rejefted. 

 But however improper thefe Trees 

 niay be for Hedges, or to clip into 

 Pyramids or Balls, yet they may 

 have a Place in fmall Wildernefs 

 Quarters amongft Ever-green Plants 

 of low Stature, where, by their 

 Diverfity, they will add to the 

 Beauty of thofe Plantations. 



The fecond Sort will grow to a 

 larger Magnitude, fbmetimes rifing 

 to the Height of eighteen or twenty 

 Feet : This may alfb be intermixed 

 with other Ever-green Trees of the 

 fame Growth, where, by its diffe- 

 rent fhap'd Leaves and Colour, it 

 will increafe the Beauty of fuch 

 Places. 



Thefe Plants are both propagated 

 by fowing their Seeds, the beft Sea- 

 fon for which is in September, as 

 ibon as they are ripe ; for if they 

 are kept till Spring bcfcre they are 



fbw», they will not come up until 

 the iecond Year. The Ground in 

 which thefe Seeds are fown, Ihould 

 be frelh and light, but it fliould not 

 be dung'd : It (hould be well dug, 

 and levell'd very even, then fovu' 

 your Seeds thereon pretty thick, 

 and fif t fome Earth over them about 

 half an Inch thick ^ this Bed will 

 require no farther Care than only 

 to keep it clear from Weeds, and 

 toward the Middle -or Latter-end 

 of April you will find fome of your 

 Plants appear above-ground i tho' 

 the greateft Part of 'em perhaps 

 may lie till the Spring following 

 before they come up, at which 

 Time you fhould carefully clear 

 the Beds from Weeds, and in very 

 dry Weather refrelh them with 

 Ibme Water, which will greatly pro- 

 mote their Growth j in this Bed 

 they fhould remain 'till the follow- 

 ing Spring, when you muft pre- 

 pare fome Beds to tranfplant thent 

 into, which fhould alfb be of light 

 freih, undung'd Soil i and having 

 well dug and cleans'd the Ground 

 from all noxious Weeds and Roots, 

 you (hould make them level: Then 

 in the Beginning of April, which 

 is the proper Seafon for Removing 

 thefe Plants, you rtiould raife up 

 the young ones with a Trowel, 

 preferving as much Earth as poiTible 

 to their Roots, and plant them in- 

 to the Beds about a Foot afunder 

 each Way, giving 'em fome Water, 

 to fettle the Earth to their Roots : 

 And if it fhould prove very drjT 

 Weather, you may lay a little Mulch 

 upon the Surface of the Ground 

 round their Roots, which will be 

 of great Service to the Plants. 



In thefe Beds they may remain 



two Years, obferving to keep them 



clear from Weeds ; and in the 



Spring you fl^ould ftir the Ground 



gently
