SECTION JIL 



OF THE FORMATION 01 A G A R D £ NV 



THE garden here meant, is one where vegetables* 

 fruits and fiovbers are cultivated under the fame 

 inclofure. Conlidering the profit and pleafure to be 

 reaped from a good garden, it is certainly an object 

 of great confequence j> the comfort of human life. It 

 \vjfl not, therefore, be prudent in any one who has a 

 garden to form, to be niggardly, either in allotting 

 ground for it, or fparing in expence and trouble to 

 prepare and lay it out in the left manner. 



The agreeable work of making a new garden can 

 happen to few ; and when it cots, foil, filiation, and 

 /pace, all favourable, are happy circumitan-ces not al- 

 ways at command: It often indeed happens, however, 

 that pieces of gfound are taken into ufe as additions^ 

 and fome judgment mould be exercifed in the choice, 

 that the bufinefs may be well done.
