A CL , 



This common Holly-tree, though 



wild in many Parts of England, de- 

 fer ves a Place in large Gardens, be- 

 ing very ornamental to the Wilder* 

 nefs, and ever green Garden ; efpe- 

 cially when we take in tne large Va- 

 riety of beautiful variegated Sorts, 

 of which we have a much greater 

 Number than is to be found in any 

 Part of Ew-ope : thefe are all did n- 

 guifhed by the different Names of 

 the Perfons who firft obferv'd them, 

 or from the Places where they 

 grew. 



I have feen in one Garden, viz. 

 Mr. Chrifopbcr Grays, near Ful- 

 bam, above thirty different Varieties, 

 which are either llrip'd or blotch'd 

 with White, Yellow, or Copper-co- 

 lour. 



Thefe Trees were formerly in 

 much greater Requeft than ac pre- 

 fent, and there was fcarcely a fmall 

 Garden of any Worth, but was fill'd 

 with them, which were clipp'd 

 either into Pyramids, Balls, or fome 

 other Figures ; but as this was croud- 

 ing a Garden too much with one 

 Sort of Plant, and the Fafhion of 

 clipp'd Greens going off, they are 

 now almoft wholly neglected : fuch 

 are the Changes in Mens Tempers 

 and Fancies, that what is one Year 

 elleemed, is the next defpifed I 



I would not here be thought to 

 be an Advocate for clipp'd Trees : 

 no ; I am infinitely more delighted 

 with a Tree in all its Luxuriancy of 

 Branches, waving about with every 

 Guff, of Wind; but yet I think there 

 is a great Beauty in thefe Trees, if 

 rightly difpofed in a Garden, but 

 more efpecially in fuch as are of a 

 large Extent, by being intermixed 

 with otner Sorts of Ever-greens, to 

 form Clumps, or placed in Quarters 

 of Ever-greens, or to border Woods, 

 and the Sides of Wildernefs-quarrers,
