SITUATION, SOIL, CHAP. 



36. But, with regard to the garden itself, where the 

 width is considerable, great care must be taken that 

 every part of the ground can be come at without incon- 

 venience ; that there be borders sufficiently wide for the 

 roots of the wall-trees to extend themselves in ; and that 

 the several plats of ground be easily come at for the 

 purpose of manuring, and for all other purposes. I sub- 

 join a plan, which I deem the most proper for a garden 

 of the extent that I have recommended. I shall first 

 give the plan on the opposite page j and, when I hare 

 subjoined the explanations of the plan, I shall proceed 

 to make some remarks on it.
