which, it artfully planted, will 

 have a very good Effed:. 



In the general Defign for thefe 

 Wilderneffes, it fhould not be ftu- 

 died to make the feveral Parts cor- 

 relpondcnt, for that is fo formal 

 and ftiff, as to be now quite re- 

 jedbed ; the greater Diverfity there 

 is in the Diftribution of thefe 

 Parts, the more Pleafiire they will 

 afford i and Iince, according to this 

 Method of Dcligning and Planting, 

 the different Parts never do pre- 

 fent themfelvcs to the fame View, 

 fo it is no matter how different 

 they arc varied afundcr ; that Part 

 of them which is mod in View 

 from the Houfe or other Parts of 

 the Garden, may be planted with 

 Evergreens j but the other Parts 

 may be planted with deciduous 

 Trees in the foregoing manner. 



The Part planted with Ever- 

 greens may be difpos'd in the fol- 

 lowing manner, njiz. in the fir ft 

 Line next the great Walks, may 

 be placed Laurus Tinus, Boxes, 

 Spurge Laurel, Juniper, Savin, and 

 other dwarf Evergreens -, behind 

 thefe may be placed Laurels, Hol- 

 lies, Arbutuss, and other Ever- 

 greens of a larger Growth ; next 

 to thefe may be placed Alaternus's, 

 Thillyrea's, Tews, Cyprefs's, Virgini- 

 an Cellars, and other Trees of the 

 iame Growth j behind thefe may 

 be planted Norway and Silver Firs, 

 the True Tine, and other Sorts of 

 the like Growth j and in the Middle 

 fhould be planted Scotch Pines, Ti- 

 nafter, and other of the largeft 

 growing Evergreens, which will 

 afford a moft delightful Profpedt, 

 if the different Shades of their 

 Greens are curioufly intermix'd. 

 And in order to render the Varie- 

 ty greater, there may be many 

 Kinds of hardy Evergreens obtain'd 

 from the North Parts of Ajnerica, 



w I 



as there are already fome in "Eng^' 

 land, which are very fit for this 

 Purpofe, and are mention'd in dif- 

 ferent Parts of this Book. 



This manner of feparating the 

 Evergreens from the deciduous 

 Trees, will not only make a much 

 better Appearance, but alio cauie 

 them to thrive far beyond what 

 they Uiually do when intermix'd ; 

 therefore I fliould never advile any 

 Pevfon to plant them promifcuoufly 

 together. 



By what I have faid concerning 

 the Planting the Trees in Rows, 

 one behind another, according to 

 their different Growths, I would 

 not have it undcrltood, that I meaa 

 the placing them in ftrait Lines, 

 which is too ftiff and formal for 

 thefe Plantations ; all that is intend- 

 ed, is to place the Front Rows of 

 Trees on each Side the Walks, at 

 an equal Diftance from the Side 

 of the Walks i but the Lines of 

 Trees (efpecially the three firft) 

 muft turn in the iame manner as 

 the Walks; thole behind may be 

 placed after any manner, provided 

 Care be taken to allow each fuffi- 

 ent Room to grow, and that there 

 may appear no uneven Gaps in the 

 Diftance of their Heads, but that 

 they may all rife gradually, fo as 

 to form a hand fome Slope. 



In fmall Gardens, where there is 

 not Room for thele magnificent 

 Wilderneffes, there may be fome 

 riling Clumps of Evergreens, fo de- 

 fign'd as to make the Ground ap- 

 pear much larger than it is in rea- 

 lity ; and if in thefe there are fome 

 Serpentine Walks well contrived, 

 it will greatly improve the Places, 

 and deceive thofe who are unac- 

 quainted with the Ground, as to 

 its Size. Thefe Clumps or little 

 Quarters of Evergrfiens fhould be 

 placed juft beyond the plain Open-
