soon have been transplanted from the masses, and sheltered from 

 cattle by the lowgrowths, as furze, holly, sloes, thorns. As some 

 may in part object to these different landscapes, from being 

 chosen where trees can be transplanted of considerable size, I 

 have introduced Plate XXX., which shews how Plate XXIX. 

 may be improved by young trees alone, and chiefly Carolina 

 and Canadian poplars*, oaks, elms, and such sorts, being intro- 

 duced among them, to succeed the others when of a proper size. 

 The house is improved at a small expense, by raising a parapet 

 to conceal the roof, and by adding two towers, the one to the 

 principal body of the house, to contain a larger drawing-room 

 and bed-rooms ; the other above the kitchen, as sleeping apart- 

 ments for servants. The whole will not amount to ^lOOO. 

 Besides being varied by trees, it may be assisted in picturesque 

 effect, at least until these grow of a proper magnitude, by 

 training quick-growing creepers on it, as shewn in the view : 

 these may be the rosa arvensis and sempervirens, and the clymatis, 

 which will cover it as much as here shewn, in three years, and 

 sooner if some of them are placed in pots or boxes above the 

 roof. Ivy, however, must be planted to succeed these; which, 

 like the oaks, elms, &c. planted among the poplars and limes, 

 has a superior effect. 



The trees near the house in Plates XXV. and XXVIII. are
