 yew, or holly, that are plac'd on the 

 top of each flope to break the career 

 of the wind that generally blows from 

 one fide of a wall to another, with un- 

 ufual violence, if not prevented by this 

 or other means of this kind. 



The flopes will be of the greateft 

 ufe for flrawberries, early peafe, i^c.

 commend it j and let the inner divifion 

 be kept planted with bunches of goofe- 

 berries, currans and rasberries 5 with 

 edgings of fweet herbs, as parfley, 

 thyme, &c. It muft be alfo obferv'd, 

 that there are glacises in the room of fteps, 

 recommended both for their fafety as 

 well as cheapnefs before fteps. 



The walks may be either of grafs, or 

 otherwife 5 walks of cole-afh, gravel, 

 01 whatever is moft convenient.
