New Principles of Gardening. 
The feveral Statures of thefe Plants may be reduc’d to three 
Sizes, viz. thofe of the talleft Growth; thofe of the middling 
Growth; and thofe of the lowelt Growth. | 
Firff then; ‘Thole of the higheft Growth are the double- 
bloflom. Cherry, Lilac, Guilder-Rofe, Spani{h Broom, Labur- 
num, Mirabalon Piumb, Tulip-tree, White Rofe, and Almond. 
Seconily ; Thofe of a middling Growth are the Syringa, Da- 
mask Rofe, Musk Rofe, Spira Frutex, Arbor Judez, Senna’s, 
Althea Frutex, Almond, being grafted a halt Standard, as alfo 
the Mirabalon Plumb, and double-bloflom Cherry. 
Thirdly and lafily; The low Tribe are. the Mezerion, the 
Furze, the Red Rofe, the Cabbage Rofe, the Province Rofe, the 
Monthly Rofe, the Mundi Rofe, the Cinnamon Rofe, the Yel- 
low Role, the Almond, being grafted low; as alfo the double- 
bloffom Cherry, and Mirabalon Plumb,into which Clats Pintro- 
duce the Sweet- Brier. | 
Having thus divided them into their feveral Clafles, we mult 
next confider their feveral Colours, that we may thereby difpofe 
of them inthe beft Manner, fo as to caufe the greatelt Variety 5 
and in order thereto, we’ll begin with thofe of the firft and _ 
largeft Clafs. . eee 
Firft, then, of thofe the double-bloffom Cherry, the “White 
Lilac, the Guilder-Rofe, the Mirabalon Plumb, and the White 
Rofe, are all entirely White Bloffloms. The other Kind of Lilac 
blue, the Spanifh Broom, and Laburnum, yellow ; the Tulip- 
tree, a mix’d Colour; and the Almond, a Peach Colour; fo that 
the Colours produced by this Clafs are white, blue, yellow, a 
mix’d, anda Peach Colour. -The-feveral Sorts of White are 
five; of Yellow, two; of Blue; Mix’d; and Peach-Colour; of 
each, one only. Their feveral Colours being thus diftinguifh’d, 
we muft now come to their Planting; wherein, firft, obferve, 
that thefe of the higheft Rank muft be planted backward from. 
the View, to give Room for the others to come.before them, 
in fuch Manner as to form, by the Difference of their feveral 
Growtlis, a perfect Slope of beautiful Flowers. 
But to the Purpofe: Let the firft Plant be the double-bloffom 
Cherry ; the fecond,an Almond; the third, the Mirabalon Plumb ; 
the fourth,a Blue Lilac; the fifth, a Guilder-Rofe; the fixth, a 
Spanib Broom; the feventh,a Whire Lilac; the eighth, a La-
