New Principles of Gardening. 
N. B. That moft of thofe Fruits mentioned in the Catalogue 
aré NOW growing in the Gardens of the Honourable James Fobn- 
Jion at Twickenham, in the County of Middlefex, Latitude 51 
Degrees, 32 Minutes, whole great PerfeCtions plainly demon- 
{trate the indefatigable Care and Judgment of the ingenious 
Mr. ‘fohn Lee, Senior, Gardener to that worthy and much ho- 
noured Gentleman, by whofe judicious Management all thofe 
Fruits are now arrived to the greatelt Perfeciion of Beauty, 
Strength, and Fertility, as Art with Nature are capable to pro- 
uce. 
I cannot well conclude this Se&ion, without taking notice of 
the great Happinefs a Gentleman poffefles, when he is fo well fix’d 
with a skilful induftrious Gardener,by whofe Judgmentand Care 
he is daily enjoying the Pleafures and Advantages of the beft 
Fruits, Herbs, Sallets, c. in the greatelt PerfeCtion, which 
Recompence is all as can be receiv’d for the Expences and 
Labours thereof. And on the other Hand, how unhappy it is 
for a Gentleman to have an unskilful Perfon defcended from the 
Tail of a Coach, Stable, €¢. who taking upon him, firft a blew 
Apron, and then the Name of a Gardener, affumes the Govern- 
ment of choice Trees committed to his Care, becaufe he has been 
much acquainted with cleaning Knives, {weeping Stables, &c.. 
which he thinks are neceflary towards their Pruning, as wellas 
making Hot-Beds, &c. without confidering that thofe Trees and 
Plants were obtained with much Labour, long Time, and great 
Expence, which by his unskilful Hand thall in One or two Years. 
Time be totally ruin’d, to the great Lots of his Mafter, and his 
eternal Shame. 
T fay where Misfortunes of this Nature happen, which is too 
frequent, ’tis a very great Lofs and Difappointment, and a 
Crime unpardonable; and therefore I cannot but take the Li- 
berty to fay, that a good Gardener deferves a much greater Re- 
{pect and Encouragement than that of Stewards, Butlers, 
= Ww oftentimes undefervedly poffefs a much larger Share 
thereof.
