"Ad Olivetum reverter, quod vidi duobus modis depositum. Magna- 

 rum arborum truncos, circumcisis ramis, et ad unum redactis pedem, 

 cum scapo suo transtulit ; amputatis radicibus, relicto tantum capite 

 ipso, ex quo illse pependerant : Hoc, fimo tinctum, in scrobem demisit : 

 Deinde terram non aggessit tantum, sed calcavit et pressit. Negat quid- 

 quam esse bac (ut ait) spissatione efficacius ; videlicet, frigus excludit 

 et ventum. Minus prsoterea movetur, et ob hoc nascentes radices pro- 

 dire patitur, ac solum apprehendere, quas necesse est teneras adhuc, et 

 precarid haerentes, levis quoque revellat agitatio. Parum autem arbo- 

 ris, antequam obruat, radit : Ex omni enim materia quae nudata est, ut 

 ait, exeunt radices novae. Non plures autem super terram eminere 

 debet truncus, quam tres aut quatuor pedes : Statim enim ab imo vesti- 

 etur ; nec magna pars, quemadmodum in olivetis veteribus, arida aut 

 retorrida erit. — Alter ponendi modus hie fuit. Ramos fortes, nec cor- 

 ticis duri, quales esse novellarum arborum solent, eodem genere depo- 

 suit. Hi paullo tardius surgunt ; sed ciim tanquam a planta proces- 

 serint, nihil habent in se horridum nec triste." — Epist. Ixxxvi. p. 659. 

 He says that he had likewise seen old vines removed in the same way, 

 in the months of February and March, and wdth the same success.

" Hoc mense, locis siccis, calidis, et apricis, majores arbores transfere- 

 mus, truncatis ramis, illaesis radicibus, multo stercore et rigationibus 

 adjuvandas." — Pallad. de Re Rust, in Novemb. tit. xvi.

Pliny gives us two descriptions, the one of his Laurentine, the other of 

 his Tuscan villa, in which the garden is the most prominent feature. 

 (See Epist. lib. ii. 17, lib. v. 6 ;) and the gardens of England, such as 

 Lord Burleigh's, and that at Hampton Court as delineated by Hentzner, 

 are accurate copies of them. There wants nothing, as is justly remarked
