 box, juniper, cypress-trees, savin, cedars, rose-trees 

 and other dainties first planted and pruned accord- 

 ing as the nature of every one doth require, but after 

 brought into some form and order with willow or 

 juniper poles, such as may serve for the making of 

 arbors. The ways and alleys must be covered and 

 sown with fine sand well beat, or with the powder 

 of the sawing of marble, or else paved handsomely 

 with good pit stone. 



"This garden, by means of a large path of the 

 breadth of six feet, shall be divided into two equal 

 parts; the one shall contain the herbs and flowers 

 used to niake nosegays and garlands of, as March 

 violets, Provence gilliflowers, purple gilliflowers, In- 

 dian gilliflowers, small pansies, daisies, yellow and 

 white gilliflowers, marigolds, lily connally, 1 daffo-
