ters of Graft, and' other flat Works, to make the beft of 

 fthe View, and taking Care not to fliut it up with Groves, 

 'Wlefs they are planted in Qi|incunGe, or opened with low 

 ^edge-Rows, which hinder not the Eye from piercing 



through the Trees, and difcovering the Beauties of the Pro-^ 



fped on every Side. 



- If there be no Vifta, but, on the contrary, you have a.. 

 -Mountain, Hill, Foreft, or Wood, that by their Vicinity 

 deprive you of that Pleafure, or fome Village too near ad- 

 joining, the Houfes of which make no agreeable Sights 

 you may then edge the Parterre with Palifades and Groves,,, 

 to hide thofe ill-favour'd Objeas J for by this M^ans you 

 lofe nothing, nor have any thing to regret in Time to come.. 

 W au E D it not be a great Grievance, tabe obliged, fome 

 ■As-Kisim Years after planting, to grub up a Wood, or to cut it down^ 

 mtbe Girdens ^ certain Height, becaufe 'twas ill placed at firft, and takes

^°^G ROVES make the Chief of a Garden, and are a great: 

 "Ornament to all the other Parts ; fo that one can never plant 

 too many of them, provided the Places defign'd them take 

 hot up thofe of the Kitchen and' Fruit-Gardens,, which are 

 -Things very ufefol and neceflary ' for a great Houfe, an4' 

 which fiiould be conftantly placed near the Bafs-Cour ts, ; , . ; 



Tb accompany Parterres, we make Choice of thofe Def 

 figns of Wood-work that are moft delicate, as Groves open- 

 ed in Compartiments, Quintunces, Verdant-halls, with 

 BoWlin^greens, Arbour-work, and Fountains in the mid- 

 dle.. Thefe fmall Groves are fo much the more agreeable 

 near a Houfe, in that you prefently find Shade, without 

 going far to feek it j befides,. they communicate a Coolnefs . 

 to the Apartments^ which is very much courted in hot. 

 Weather. 



It would be of ufe to -plant fome fmall Groves of Ever- 

 greens, that you might have the Pieaftire of feeing a Wood- 

 always verdant in the very' coldeft Seafons. They would" 

 look very well when feen from the Building ; and I earneft- 

 iy recommend the Planting of fome Squares of them in a 

 handibme Garden^ ta miak? a. Diverlity from the othef
