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-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-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-line either North or South and divide the Circumference A D B E into four equal parts and draw the 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-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
