The nrlt of thefe Plants is very 

 common upon dry Heaths in div«r3 

 Parts M England ; but has been in- 

 troduced into Gardens, and was for- 

 merly in great Requeii for ever-green 

 Hedges : but as it is very fubjecl to 

 decay in Patches, and thereby render 

 inch Hedges very unfightly, as alia 

 being very troublefome to fhear, 

 they have been of late almoft intire- 

 ly rejected. But however improper 

 thefe Trees may be for Hedges, or to 

 clip into Pyramids cr Balls ; yet they 

 fnould have a Place in imail Wildes 

 nefs quarters, amongft ever -green 

 Plants of low Stature; where, by 

 their Diverfity, they will add to th< 

 Beauty of thofe Plantations. 



The fecond Sort wiil grow to ; 

 larger Magnitude, fometimes rifinj 

 to the Height of eighteen or twent] 

 Feet : this may alio be intermixei 

 with other ever green Trees of th 

 fame Growth ; where, by its difrei 

 ent-fhap'd Leaves and Coiour, i 

 will increale the Beauty of fuchPh 

 ces.
