become established. For the second early crops forty-folds Cham¬ 
pions, and Bread-fruits are the best. Plant these about the same 
time as the others in rows, the distance apart, but the sets require 
to be six inches from each other in the row. When these crops of 
potatoes are all gathered, the ground may be occupied with spinach 
or Cole worts. 
A small portion only of the border (g) would be required for 
growing herbs, which should be confined to half of the southern part, 
and the remainder of the southern might be occupied with Wilmot’s 
and Watson’s Rhubarb, the western border might be planted with 
Keen’s seedling Roseberry, and Grove End Strawberries; the nor¬ 
thern part should be occupied with the Red and Yellow Antwerp 
Raspberries. The dwarf apple trees at (/), and also on the opposite 
side of the walk, should be planted about four feet from the walk, and 
fifteen feet apart, from tree to tree ; the sorts most to be recommended 
are the Keswick Codlin, Hawthorndean, Mank’s Codlin, Norfolk 
Beaufin, Bess Pool, Northern Greening, Blenheim Pippin, and 
Gravenstein. It would also be advisable to plant about four standard 
plum trees; these should stand two at the top and two at the bottom 
of the Garden; the sorts most suitable are 1 Catherine, 1 Early Or¬ 
leans, 1 late Orleans, and 1 Shropshire Damson for preserving and 
wine. On the borders, round the quarters, gooseberry and currant 
trees, should be planted about eight feet apart, from tree to tree, and 
four feet from the walk. The late potatoes need not be planted till 
May, “ if it be even as late as the middle, there will be no fear of a 
crop, if properly managed.” After they are taken up, as nothing 
more can be planted upon the same ground that will be off in time 
for the next year’s planting of potatoes, the best way will be to dig 
the soil in ridges and allow it to remain so through the winter.

which will be found of great use to the guilder. I name this upon 
the supposition, that a skilful workman will be able to complete the 
erection without the assistance of any other drawings than the ac¬ 
companying ones. 
(Fig. 25) is an isometrical view of the building, and part of the 
garden, &c., showing the effect of the whole. It will be readily 
agreed, on reference to this view, that a number of such buildings 
would present very interesting objects upon a nobleman’s or gentle¬ 
man’s demesne. 
The material to be employed in the external walls of the building, 
will depend much upon local circumstances. If brick is the material 
used, there will be a very great saving by making the walls hollow, as I
