inches thick at the middle of the bed, 
gradually decreafing as it approaches the 
fides, where it Ihould be about three 
inches thick ; thus will the convexity of 
the furface be increafed in a proper 
degree, and the roots will be covered 
with foil, to a depth proportionate to 
their fize and ftrength: the largeft and 
ftrongeft having been placed in the centre
