ORNAMENTAL PLANTATIONS, 



PLANTING OUT LARGE EVERGREENS ON 

 THE LAWN, &C. 



THE planting of fuch muft be forthwith com- 

 pleted. In the difpofmg of thefe, Taste has its 

 fulleft play. It would, perhaps, be impoflible to 

 convey an idea of the exat pofition in which the 

 plants to be ufed fliould be placed. The general 

 flatnefs, or the number and degree of the inequa- 

 lities of the ground ; the number and qualities of 

 adjoining plantations, together with their relative 

 fituations; a diftant village, or a diftant parifh 

 church or fpire; or, perhaps, a farm-houfe ; or far 

 diftant mountains or hills, with a variety of other 

 obje&s and circumftances muft determine the 

 tinges of hue, the pofition, the number, natural 

 heights, and qualities of the plants to be ufed* 

 Any attempt, therefore, to lay down, in this place, 

 the exaft fituations in which the refpeclive Ever- 

 greens fliould be placed, would be ridiculous.
