A44924	The flovver garden Shewing briefly how most flowers are to be ordered, the time of flowering, taking of them up, and of planting them again. And how they are increased by layers, off sets, slips, cuttings, seeds, &c. With other necessary observations relating to a flower garden. VVhereunto is now added. The gardiners or planters dialling, (viz.) how to draw a horizontal diall, as a knot in a garden, on a grass-plot, or elsewhere, the like before not extant. By William Hughes.

or more and five or six Foot long at the least and make one side thereof streight and then and inch or two from the streight side draw a line parallel thereto about the middle of which line e●ect a perpendicular that is draw a line just crose the board and at the middle or Centre cut a hole in the board to the edge of the parallel line for a Plummet to hang in it being fastned with a thread to the upper side of the board then if your Plane seem to be level with the Horizon you may try it by applying the ●●eight side of your board thereunto and holding the perpendicular line upright and a Thread and Plummet in your hand or it may be fastned on the upper sider of the ●●ard so as the Plummet may ●●ve free play in the hole and ●●en the thread falleth on the perpendicular line which way so●●er you turn the board it is then ●●de even with the Horizon and ●ay be properly called a Horizon●● Plane as if it were either wood ●o ne Or else you may try whether it be a Horizontal Plane by a Carpenters Bricklayers or Masons level if you have such an Instrument ready or can easily procure one To draw a Diall on a Grass plot it being first made Horizontal Figure 1. Place it between page 76 and 77. First put a string on the Centre or Pinn and measure six foot thereof whereat exactly hold your hand with a piece of Chalk or Whiting in your hand so that the Green or Garden-plot being dry by turning round you may draw a Circle which you may with a Knife or other Instrument cut out as you please that Citcle being made you may then draw another Circle about sixteen or eighteen inches without it between which two Circles last of all the Figures at the end of the hour-hour-lines to show the time of the day ought to be cut if you will have your Diall drawn round Having thus done draw your Meridian line pointing right North and South which you may do either by a needle that is well touch't or else you may set up a●● rod perpendicular which may be done by holding a Thread and Plummet thereto and where the Shaddow is when the Sun is full South that is when is is full twelve a Clock which you may see by another Diall that is truly drawn I say where the shaddow toucheth at high noon the● draw the meridian-Meridian-line A B a● you may see Figure the first through the Center C this line is full North and South and serveth for the Meridian the hou●● of twelve and the Substilar the●● through the point or Centre draw the line D E crossing the Meridian at right Angles which may be done thus Set the point of your Compasses in the Circle at the end of the meridian-Meridian-line either North or South and divide the Circumference A D B E into four equal parts and draw the cross-cross-line East and West D E which serveth for the Six a Clock line both for morning and evening Next to find the height of the Stile or Cocks elevation take the latitude of the place which is here fifty two degrees and twenty minutes and set it from A to O in the Quadrant A D and draw the line C O S then from A raise the perpendicular A S to cut the line S C at S so shall the Triangle A C S be the exact pattern of your Cock and presents the Axle-tree of the world But to the unlearned to whom I write I will shew how they may get the height of the Stile not regarding the line of Cords because the Radius is in this work too large for most Rules except you have one made purposely which is not worth while seeing i● may be performed otherwise Take the Radius or Semi-diamiter of your Circle which is ●ere six Foot with a string for I suppose you have no Compasses that will reach it yet such may easily be had and holding it at the North end of the Meridian measure the length thereof i● the Quadrant or arch-Arch-line towards D which divide into six equal parts which are ninety Degrees and may be numbred ten twenty thirty forty fifty sixty c. which if you take five of those parts it is fifty degrees and then if you divide the next part which is sixty into ten parts and take something more then two of those small parts you have then fifty two ●egreos and twenty minutes the exact height of your stile And thus if you desire not to have your stile in one piece all the whole breadth or height you may have a Square or round piece of Iron or Wood which is straight set upright in the Circle of the North end of the Meridian the just height of the stile and from the top thereof you may have another piece fitted which will reach to the Center of the Diall to make an exact Triangle for the height of the Cock And let it be so contrived that the slanting piece may be taken away and put there again at pleasure that so it may neither be troublesome nor deform the place in the least if it be in a Garden Now to find the rest of the hour-lines for we have yet but the 12 a Clock-line and the hour of 6 in the morning and evening you may divide the two quarters of your Circle A E and A D each into six equal parts so shall you have in each Quarter or Quadrant 5 points by which you may draw the 5 Chord-lines which in a Garden may be drawn with chalk and is easily wiped out again or else you may instead thereof lay so many strings or strained Packthreads sticking a pin in each or making a mark where the hour-line is to be drawn these Chord-lines being laid or drawn I F G H and A as you may see in Figure the first then take one half of the Cord-line A set it in the line of the stile from C to N from which point N take the nearest extent unto the Meridian with this same distance setting one foot in the point A with the other make a mark on each side of the Meridian in the same Chord-line A through which point from the Center draw the hour lines of 1 and 11 so likewise you may take one half of the Chord-line H and place it in the line of the Stile from C to K from which point K take the shortest extent unto the Meridian with this distance set on foot in H and with the other make on each side the Meridian a mark in the same Chord-line through which you a●o to draw the Hour-lines of 2 and 10 and so you may do in the rest of the Lines as the Figure will shew and they being drawn in white or red you may cut them forth in the Grass plot as you please or if it be in a Flower-garden all the Lines may be of Box Rosemary Isop or any other such like as

will easily be kept in good form but then a larger extent then we have here mentioned ought to be used And whereas in Summer the 4 and 5 in the morning and also 7 and 8 at evening may be necessary draw the Lines of 4 and 5 at evening beyond the Center C and they will shew the hours of 4 and 5 in the morning and likewise the 7 and 8 in the morning for 7 and 8 in the evening But the operation of this largeness being troublesome because that ordinary Instruments will not conveniently reach to perform the same therefore I will shew briefly how it may be drawn either on Paper or Past-board and being fixed on the middle or Center of your Grass-plot or Green or other place where you intend to draw your Diall the Lines may be extended to what length is required Therefore having prepared ready a large sheet of Paper that is very thick as Dutch Paper is or such as is commonly made use of for the drawing of Leases or else a piece of smooth Past-board such as may be had at any Card-makers I say having ready such a piece of Paper or Past-board in the middle thereof chuse your Center as at C then draw your Circle and divide it into four equal parts and draw your Meridian Line A B and cross it at right Angles in the middle with the Line D E for the six a clock line You may draw your Circle from what Radius you please as suppose 6 inches or more which may be wiped out again Having the hours of 12 and 6 then take the height of your Cock or Stile as I have before shewn or from a Line of Chords accordingly take off as many Degrees as you would lay down which here is 52 Degrees and 20 minutes which set from A to O and so is the Triangle C O S the pattern for the Cocks elevation as is before shewn Figure 2. Place it between page 86 and 87. This being done divide the two quarters of the Circle ●as before is shewn into six equal parts so is there in each Quadrant 5 points by which you are to draw the five Cord-lines I F G H and A then take one half of the Gord-line A and set it in the line of the Stile from C to N from which point N take the nearest distance unto the Meridian and with this extent setting one foot in the point A with the other make a mark on each side of the Meridian in the same Cord line A through which points draw the Hour-lines of 1 and 11 and so of all the rest as is already fully enough exprest Thus having drawn all the Lines parallel or double as you may see by Figure the second you may then easily cut them forth or plant them with Rosemary Hysop Time Box c. if you cut by the edge of every Line when you have drawn them to their full length taking away all except the Lines only and the narrow space between the parallel Lines which being left on a Grass-plot will be the Hour-lines and the Figures at the ends of the hour-Hour-lines are handsomly to be cut and left as here you see at twelve and all the rest of the turf or other earth in the insterstaces being taken away about three or four inches deep and fine gravel put in the place to fill those low places almost even again and then being beaten down hard and the grass on the Lines kept short it will seem very handsome in a Garden or Plantation or else if you like not this way you may then cut out the breadth of the Hour-lines Circles and Figures only as deep as you see good and put fine gravel only in those Lines and being beaten hard it will be well enough These Wayes are much used amongst the Planters in the Indies but because the Grass is apt to grow fast and over-spread the gravel and thereby ariseth much trouble in keeping them handsome some have the Lines thereof laid in Wood or Stone and then they are easily kept in order for a long time and so they are being planted with Box small Mirtle Cypress c. Figure 3. Place it before page 91. To draw another Dial on an Horizontal Plane VVHen you have found your Plane or Green whereon you desire to have your Dial drawn to be level with the Horizon then draw the Meridian Line and in this Line make choice of a Center as at C through which point C draw the Line D E crossing the Meridian at right Angles which Line is for six a clock in the morning and evening Then draw the height of the Stile or cock of the Dial according to your Radius to be 52 degrees and 20 minutes making th● Angle S C A then at the North● end of the meridian-Meridian-line draw another Line as F G crossing th● Meridian at right Angles this Line is called the Touch-line o● Line of contingence Then set one foot of your Compasses in the foot A and with the other take the nearest extent unto the Line S C or the Stile with this distance turning your Compasses about with one foot still in the point A with the other make a mark in the meridian as at I which shall be the Center of the Equinoctial upon which describe the Equinoctial Circle A D B E with this same distance setting one foot in the point A make a mark at F on the one side of the Meridian and another at G on the other side thereof both which ought to be made ● the Line of contingence by ●hich two points and the Cen●●r C you may draw the Hour●●nes of 3 and 9. This same distance of your Compasses being kept with one ●ot still in the Genter A with the other make the marks K L in the Equinoctial Circle Then ●aying your rule upon the Center ● of the Equinoctial and upon those two last divisions in the Circle thereof where the rule shall touch the Line of contingence there mark it as at H and P by which points and the Center C you may draw the Hour-lines of 10 and 11 the like may you do on the other side of the Meridian so have you six of your Hour-lines drawn And now for the drawing o● your 4 and 5 and also 7 and 8 ● Clock-lines it is possible your Touch-line or Line of contingence may out-run your Plane as you may see by Figure the third we will therefore shew how you may on a Grass plot or elsewhere draw those Lines with Chalk o● by the use of a Thread or any small Line you may do it not out-running the compass of the Dial● As thus From the intersection of the hours of 9 and 3 with the Touch-line draw the Line F D as you may see Figure 4th and G E parallel to the Meridian A B until they cut the Line of East and West in the points D and E the● draw the Lines A D and A E this being done set
