fore I mould never advife any Per- 

 fon to plant them promifcuoufly to- 

 gether. 



By what I have faid concerning 

 the Planting of the Trees in Rows, 

 one behind another, according to 

 their different Growths, I would not 

 have it underitood, that I mean 

 the placing them in {trait Lines, 

 which is too ft iff and formal for thefe 

 Plantations : all that is intended is, to 

 place the front Rows of Trees on 

 each Side the Walks, at an eq'ial 

 Diftance from the Side of the Walks; 

 fo that the Lines of Trees (efpecial'y 

 the three firft) will turn in the fame 

 manner as the Walks. Thofe be- 

 hind may be placed after the fame 

 manner, provided Care be taken to 

 allow each fufficient room to grow, 

 and that there may appear no uneven 

 I Gaps in the Diftance of their Heads; 

 j but that they may ail rife gradually, 

 | fo as to form an handfome Slope. 

 In fmah Gardens, where there is 

 not room for thefe magnificent Wil- 

 derneffes, there may be fome rifing 

 Clumps of Ever-greens, fo defigned 

 as to make the Ground appear much 

 larger than it is in Reality ; and if 

 in thefe there are fome Serpentine- 

 walks well contriv'd, it will greatly 

 improve the Places, and deceive 

 thofe who are unacquainted with the 

 Ground, as to its Size. Thefe 

 Clumps or little Quarters of Ever- 

 greens fnould be placed juft beyond 

 I. the plain Opening of Grafs before 

 I the Houfe, where the Eye will be 

 learned from the plain Surface of 

 I Grafs, to the regular Slope of Ever- 

 1 greens, to the great Pleafure of the 

 : 'Beholder ; but if there is a diftant 

 Profpecl of the adjacent Country 

 from the Houfe, then this fhould not 

 be obftrucied, but rather a larger 

 Opening allowed for the View, 

 : . oounded on each Side with thefe 

 it fifing Clumps, which may be ex- 



tended to half the Compafs of the 

 Ground : and on the back Part from 

 the Sight, may be planted the fede- 

 ral Kinds of flowering Shrub^, ac- 

 cording to their different Growths, 

 which will ftill add to the Variety. 

 Thefe fmall Quarters mould not be 

 furrounded with Hedges, for the 

 Reafons before given for the larger 

 Plantations ; nor fhould they be cut 

 into Angles, or any other ftudied 

 Figures, but be defigned rather in a 

 rural manner ; which is always pre- 

 ferable to the other, for thefe Kinds 

 of Plantations. 



In WilderntfTes there is but Kttle 

 Trouble or Expend after their firft 

 planting, which is au Addition to 

 their Value: the only Labour re- 

 quired, is to mow and roL the large 

 Grafs- walks, and to keep the other 

 Ground-waiks free from Weeds. 

 And in the Quarters, if the Weeds 

 are hoed down two or three times in 

 a Summer, it will ftill add to their 

 Neatnefs, The Trees mould alfo be 

 pruned to cut out all dead Wood, or 

 irregular Branches, where they crofs 

 each other, and jult to preferve them 

 within due Bounds ; and, as was 

 before obferv'd, if the Ground be 

 flightly dug between the Trees, it 

 will greatly promote their Vigour. 

 This being the whole Labour of a 

 Wildernels, 'tis no Wonder they are 

 fo generally efteem'd, efpecialiy 

 when we confider the Pleafure they 

 afford.
