ing of Grafs before the Houfe, 

 where the Eye will be carried from 

 the plain Surface of Grafs, to the 

 regular Slope of Evergreens, to the 

 great Pleafure of the Beholder j but 

 if there is a diftant Profpe6t of the 

 adjacent Country from the Houfe, 

 then this fhould not be obftruded, 

 but rather a larger Opening allow'd 

 for the View, bounded on each 

 Side with thefe rifing Clumps, 

 -which may be extended to half the 

 Compafs of the Ground : And on 

 the back Part from the Sight, may 

 be planted the feveral Kinds of 

 flowering Shrubs, according to their 

 different Growths, which will ftill 

 add to the Variety. Thefe fmall 

 Quarters fliould not be furrounded 

 with Hedges for the Reafbns be- 

 fore given for the larger Plantati- 

 ons i nor {hould they be cut into 

 Angles, or any other ftudied Fi- 

 gures, but be defign'd rather in a 

 rural Manner, which is always pre- 

 ferable to the other for thefe Kinds 

 of Plantations. 



In Wildernefles there is but little 

 Trouble or Expence after their firft 

 planting, which is an Addition to 

 their Value j the only Labour re- 

 quired, is to mow and roll the 

 large Grafs Walks, and to keep the 

 other Ground Walks free from 

 Weeds. And in the Quarters if 

 the Weeds are hoed down two or 

 three times in a Summer, it will 

 ftill add to their Neatnels. The 

 Trees (l^iould aUb be pruned to cut 

 out all dead Wood or irregular 

 Branches, v/here they crofs each 

 other, and juft to prefcrvc them 

 within due Bounds ; and, as was 

 before oblerved, if the Ground be 

 nightly dug between the Trees, it 

 will greatly promoce their Vigour. 

 This being the whole Labour of a
