New Principles of Gardening. 
Almond, Mirabalon Plumb, Blue Lilac, Guilder - Rofe, Spanifh 
Broom, c. you will have placed them in fuch a Manner, as 
to be always beautiful. And altho’ they are not all in Bloom 
at one Iniftant, yet one or other of them are: And even thofe 
as have no Bloiloms, are extremely beautiful, in refpet to the 
great Variety of Colours contain’d in their Leaves and Shoots. 
The fecond Cla‘, which is to be planted immediately be- 
fore the firft, muft have its feveral Colours difpofed of in 
the like Manner; wherein always obferve, that you never place 
a Flower-Shrub that is white, yellow, Sc. before a Plant of the 
firft Clafs whichis of the fame Colour, or Kind, always regard- 
ing to follow the. Steps of Nature as near as poffible. 
The third and lowermoft Clafs being to be order’d in the 
fame Manner, I need not fay any more thereof; but that if 
Sweet-Brier was  judictoufly—intermix’d in this Plantation, 
*rwould add a great Grace co the whole; and whien the Stan- 
dard-trees planted in the Hedge-lines of Walks, and Hedges 
alfo, which fhould never be fuffer’d to grow very high, are 
fild with the-feveral Kinds of Jeflemines and Honey-fuckles 
to run up and about them in a wild and rural! Manner; the 
Whole muft then make a moft agreeable Compofition, being al- 
fo back fwith ‘the great Varicties of Foreft-trees, planted ta 
the Mid{t of the Quarters. : 
Having thus laid down the moft agreeable and pleafant Man- 
ner, of diipofing and planting of flowering Shrubs ina Wilder- 
nefs, they being proper for fuch Plantations only; I fhall, in 
the next Place, proceed to the Confideration of fuch odoriferous 
Flowers, whofe Smell and Afpect are both curious and de- 
lightful.
