OF A GARDEN'. 



41 



Having fpoken of ftafionary things, the routine of 

 the feafons mult dictate the reft; arid the inclinations 

 of the palate will refrefh the memory to take care of 

 providing the Tnoft neceffary and agreeable efculents 

 for dreiling, and raw fallads. 



Perennial flowers have been mentioned ; but \tt fancy 

 direct, as many annuals, and biennials to be cultivated, 

 as room can conveniently be found for, that the garden 

 may be, as much as poffiMe, ornamented.

 in a garden to moft ears.
