confuinptions of herbage roots, fruits, &c. in 

 fmall, middling, and large families, or for 

 public fupply; having the ground, if pofli- 

 ble, of the bed quality, of a moderately 

 lighti(h pliable niellow nature. One full fpade, 

 or two fpades deep in good fertile earth, in 

 a fituation open to the free air, and full fun 

 as much as poffible, and not too low and wet 

 at any feafon, the foil either of a blackifh, 

 brown, or hazelly colour; or a moderately 

 ^ight loamy kind, or fat fandy loam is very 

 defirable, and eligible for the growth of mofl 

 plants and trees. 



, Either allot a neceiTary portion of ground 

 'wholly for the kitchen garden, where there 

 i's fufficient fcope and choice of foil and fitua- 

 tion, or if limited, may have the kitchen 

 ground, fruit plantations and flower compart- 

 ments all in one, affigning the larger main 

 quarters for the produtlion of herbaceous ef- 

 culents, and in the outward borders have 

 wall trees, and efpaliers; with fome fland- 

 ards in the internal divifions ; and the bor- 

 ders next the main walks for flowers. 



The ground fnould be enclofed with a wall 

 paling or hedge, both for fecurity, and the' 

 advantage of Ihtiher, and to aiford an oppor- 

 tunity of having warm borders for early crops 

 and Winter Handing young plants, as well as 

 to furnifli fhady borders for particular fmall 

 plants in Summer; but a wall or clofe paling, 

 ienccy is alfo of great additional advantage 

 for the convenience of having wall trees.
