French Elms, Lime, Hornbeam, Maple, Privet, Yew, Holly, 
Arbutus, Phillyrea, Norway Fir, Ilex, Bay, Laurel, Laurus- 
Tinus, Piracantha, Funiper, and the Englifh Furze ; and indeed,.

Walks and Hedges of Trees of all Sorts, as well Fruit as others;

Fruitsin a Wilderne/s, canes great Variety and Pleafure, as well 
as Profit: Inthe Spring, when their beautiful Bloffoms appear, | 
they then exceed allother Plants, and particularly the Adiraba’on 
Plumb and Almond, ot which] advife Gentlemen to plant entire 
Walks ; for they not only make the mot beautiful Appear- 
ances in the Spring, which hold for fome Time, but after- 
Wards are very pleatant, both in their Leaf and Fruits: As- 
likewife are all our other Fruits, fuch as Plumbs, Pears, Ap= 
ples, Cherries, the Bruxel Apricot, white and blue Figs, Grapes,
