Rails after the manner before direéted, may fet the Beds and Botders 
with French Box, and inftead of thetorementioned Lattice make a 
thin Pole-hedge with Celaftrus; Alaturnus, Pyracantha and Phyllirea, 
or what of thefe hecan get, which being ever green will agree very 
sell with the Box : but the Borders to the Walls neverthelefs muft 
be fupported with Rails, to keep them and the Walks divided and in 
goodorder,. =: 
[know 2 Garden fo fet with Box will thew very well, and (if care- 
fully kept) will laft many years ; but it will be three years before the 
Box be grown to perfection, befides, the Roots, ifnot cut away on 
the infide with a keen Spade every other year, will run into the Beds, 
and draw from the Flowers much of their nourifhment: alfo it mutt 
be kept cut, and feared three times every year at leaft ; whereas a 
Garden fet with Rails is free from all thefe inconveniences, prefently 
in perfection, and kept with little labour, onely rolling the great 
Alleys, {moothing the reft; anid weeding the Beds , which, though 
often ftirred and turned over intaking up Roots, mending the Soil 
withfifted Dung, or planting again, you need not fear to lofe the 
Level, the Rails will ftill dire& you: andas the Ground finks, the 
fame mutt be raifed again with good Earth ming with Lime and 
Dung, which hath layen onan a to rot the beft part ofa year, that 
-it may be fifted andimployed to that purpofe, And as I told you ia 
‘theformer, Garden, when you earth up thefe Beds, lay them not 
flat, but fo ine j. cowards the. middle ,. efpecially if the

yards {quare,with a railed Fret of twenty three divifions,and a latticed 
Botder ; and firft we will begin with the Walls , thofe on that fide 
wopen to the South, or South-eaft, I would have planted with the 
belt Reaches and Neéforines, fet twelve foot afunder, and an Indian 
Gefmine and dowble Clematws inthe middle betwixt thofe Trees that
