“<< in the moft popular Work of this Kind, in the an- 
tiquated Terms ‘of Tournegrort, but according 
to the Syftem ‘of Linnzvs, now folely fol-_ 
the whole into two great Divifions : 
A COMPLEAT BODY 
@ 
Thefe we fhall explain, not as that is attempted 
lowed; and to the Numbers already introduced, 
incite the Curiofity and Tafte of thefe the Pa+ 
trons of the Science to add others which are 
worthy; Natives of the retnoteft Climates wuich 4 
have flourifhed in the Gardens of Ho.titanp and 
of France, and which may ane a new Liuftre | 
| at their Perfection. 
to ours. 
We have thus alivered the iS headed Method 
of our Work, and may now advance into the Gar- 
den: as its Produéts are fo diftinét, and its Pur- 
_ pofes in different Parts fo various, we hope it is 
found by the Poffeffor already divided into feve- 
the Defigns of , 
ral Partitions according to 
PLeasure, of Use, w Convenience, and of 
CuRIOSITY : 
the fycceeding Months to give it this Diftribu- 
tion. 
Let him remember that he is to raife in it Plants 
of uncommon Kinds, and Flowers of Elegance, 
for the Contemplation of the Eye and of the 
Mind; and Products of Ufe for the Gratification 
of the Appetite. Thefe, from their various Na- 
tures, require a different Care and Culture; and 
in the Eye of Reafon a different Place: as they 
are feparate in Nature, let them be kept diftin@ — 
upon the Ground. We fhall deliver the beft | 
Methods of managing all the Kinds; and the 
feveral Species of Culture fuited to their different 
Stages. 
As the Improvement of Botanic Knowledge is 
_ the nobleft Article of the Gardener’ orPiy tet ol we 
fhall begin with that Part of the Study 5 explain- 
ing the feveral Plants according to the juft 
Fotm of Science; and illafeating then with | 
_ Figures. 
After thefe . we fhall come in courfe 
to the full and practical Confideration of the 
‘feveral other Articles. | 
Upon this general Diftinction into Produéts of 
_Cursosiry and thofe of Usz, depends the firft 
Article in the Diftribution of a Garden. Thefe 
are to be kept feparate ; and they naturally throw 
but under 
each Head there alfo rife other fubordinate 
Caufes of Diftin¢ction. 
Of the Plants which laudable Curiofity, and a 
Thirft of Knowledge have brought to us from 
other Regions, ats will Caste our Seafons 
throughout the Year; ‘others can only be ex- 
pofed to the open Air during the warmer 
Months ; and many are too tender to bear its 
full Force at any Time. 
Thefe the judicious Gardener is to manage 
according to their various Natures; and hence 
arife the Dilkinsions of the Open Growunp, the 
GREENHOUSE, and the Stove. : 
This is a Diftribution fo needful, that the 
very Being of the Plants depends upon it. 
Some of the hardy Kinds may be, and fome 
muft be raifed where they are to remain; but 
if otherwife, it muft be his Care in | 
we fhall confider in their proper Order; pointing: ’ 
the greater Part will bear to be tranfplanted, Auguft, 
and Goan thrive for it the better. . 
Thefe fhould be raifed in another Place, and 
only brought into the Borders at a proper Time 
before their flowering. | 
‘This Confideration gives Origin to what is 
called the Seminary or N urfery, a diftiné Part 
in the Diftribution of the Ground: in this they 
are to be produced from Seeds or otherwife, and 
preferved till toward the Time of their arriving 
. The Produéts of the Kitchen Garden require 
in the fame Manner their different Degrees of 
Heat, and alfo their feveral Seadiolan cations: but 
as Frames and Glaffes here fupply the Place of | 
Greenhoufes and Stoves, and Ufe not Elegance 
is the Defign of this Part, one Quarter removed 
from the rett, and properly conceal’d, will an- 
{wer this Purpofe; and there will need no farther 
Regard to this Matter in the Article of Diftri- 
| bution. 
The Herbage of a Garden being thus difpofed 
we come to the Confideration of its Fruits, 
Thefe are raifed principally againft Walls, or in 
Efpaliers, and therefore rather belong to the na- 
tural Divifions of a Garden, than require a par- 
ticular Afflortment under that Article: but as 
there are fome which are the proper Product of 
a feparate Quarter, we fhall confider thefe as the 
Portion of a peculiar Piece of Ground under the - 
Name of an OrcHARD., | 
From this we fhall be led fo finch other Trees, 
as from theit Beauty deferve a Place in the Gar- 
den, but from their vaft Growth cannot be con- 
tained there, and therefore are to have a feparate 
Place under the Name of the Witperness. 
This is the proper and perfeét Diftribution of 
a Garden s and thefe its natural and neceflary 
‘diftiné& Compartments. 
If.our Reader finds binnfelfi in Poffeffion © a 
one thus divided into Frower and KircueEen 
GrounD, defended by Watts and planted with 
EspaLiers, furnifhed with its GreENHOUSE and 
its Srove, and enlarged by the Addition of its 
SEMINARY, OrcHaRD, and Wi.pERnegss, he will 
have no more Care upon his Mind than to ob- — 
ferve our feparate Inftructions with Refpect to the 
Management.of each : but ifhe find it wanting in 
any of thefe Refpects, and intend to make it com. 
pleat, he is to wait the proper Seafon, and he will 
here find Dire¢tions for that Purpofe. | 
According to the diftin@ Parts of a Garden 
which we have here laid down, the Poffeflor of 
the Ground will find its Produéts arkanged under 
four Heads; the firft comprehending the curious 
Plants and Flowers; the fecond ufeful Herbage ; 
thethird Fruits, and the fourth Foreft-Trees: thefe 
out the principal Kinds he is each Week to i 
| pect in their Perfeétion ; and explaining each Ar- 
ticle according to the Didtates of Experience 
and the Laws of Science,
