 that keep in their places for feveral years 

 together, excepting currans, goofeber- 

 lies, and rasberry bufhes 5 as for example,

 there at greater diflances one from the 

 other, than in drier places 5 he muft al- 

 fo keep his beds and dreffed grounds 

 ^rais'd higher than his walks and path- 



ways;.
