become dull by too long acquaintance with them But the pleasures of a Garden are every day renewed with the approaching Aurora While with succeeding Flow'rs the year is crown'd Whose painted Leaves enamel all the ground Admire not them but with more grateful Eyes To Heaven look and their great Maker prize In a calm Night the Earth and Heaven agree There radiant Stars here brighter Flow'rs we see Gardens as if immortal ne'er decay And fading Flow'rs to fresher still give way Rapinus Such is its pre-excellency that there is scarce a Cottage in most of the Southern parts of England but hath its proportionable Garden so great a delight do most of men take in it that they may not only please themselves with the view of the Flowers Herbs and Trees as they grow but furnish themselves and their Neighbors upon extraordinary occasions as Nuptials Feasts and Funerals with the proper products of their Gardens Flowers in many things convenient are Our Tables and our Cupboards we prepare With them and better to diffuse their scent We place them in our Rooms for Ornament By others into Garlands they are wrought And so for Off'rings to the Altars brought Sometimes to Princes Banquets they ascend And to their Tables fragrant Odours lend Rapinus It furnishes our Kitchin and Tables with various Esculents as well satisfying Nature as pleasing our Appetites it yields us various Spirits Essences Perfumes Waters Unguents Conserves Perserves and many other necessary useful and pleasant dietical and medicinal Curiosities which the same Rapinus hath elegantly expressed in his Poems on the same Subject and at last concludes I should too tedious be of I should sing The mighty aids which Herbs and Flowers bring To the Diseases Men are subject to For these the Gods with Vertue did endue CHAP. I. Of the Scituation and Soyls of a Garden and their Improvement SECT I. Of the Scituation of a Garden IT may seem needless to say any thing of the Scituation of a Garden it being so absolute a Concomitant to your Habitation that a Garden remote or by it self is neither pleasant nor useful Therefore where-ever your House is near it must be your Garden But in case you have not yet laid the Foundation of your intended Residence then may you consider what Ground or Soyl is best for your Plantation and Partirre without which you can never make the other compleat Therefore as near as you can let the Soyl be good deep and light that Trees and Tillage may prosper in it and then you need not question but Flowers will thrive there Let it have the free and open Air to the East and South but the South-East is to be preferred and the North defended by tall Trees which are better than Hills which give too great a reflection of Heat in the Summer and impede the cool Breezes that frequently come out from that Coast If the whole Garden be at some distance defended by tall Trees it will very much break the fierce Winds and ferene Airs that in the Winter and Spring usually annoy the most delicate Plants and Flowers and will also yield a cooling refreshing sweet and healthy Air and Shade in the hottest Seasons If the Soyl be dry and warm a plain Level is best for a Garden but if it be cold or moist then declining or shelving towards the Sun is the best position because by Fosses or by the Walks only the Water naturally glides from it And in such a Garden Trees Plants and Flowers will thrive exceedingly These Rules are good where you are to make your election what sort of ground and wheâ—e you design your Seat I might have also added the springs of Water in or near your Garden are great additions to the Improvement Beauty and Glory of it but that it 's hoped few will seat themselves where that Element is wanting unless it be for the sake of some pleasant Grove Prospect or delicate Air Woods and Water being two of the best Ornaments of the Seat which may be had in most places together with a good Air but seldom Water and a good Prospect If you are fixed or limited to a place or scituation that puts an end to Election and then you are to consider the Nature of the Soyl you are on what it is apt to produce how to be corrected and improved SECT II. Of the different and most natural Soyls for Gardens LAnds are usually inclinable to Loam Clay Chalk Marle or Sand. A Loamy Land is usually free and apt to Vegetation warm and easie to Till the sadder the Colour the better if it be free from Stones and Gravel with a sandy mixture and mellow withal it is esteemed the best for Gardens for the most sorts of Fruits and Flowers There is much Land that is mixed with Clay in too great a proportion which maketh it apt to bind and is cold and moist in the Winter season retaining wet too much and apt to chap in the Summer it is injurious to most Fruits and Flowers and therefore hath most need of help of any other Chalky Land is generally very sweet and kind to many Plants that are not very tender it being cold in the Winter and suffers not its Plants to put forth early in the Spring it is not difficult to be corrected and made more natural to the choicest Fruits and Flowers Marle is a very good mixture in Land so that it be not in too great a quantity it being much of the nature of Chalk but easier to be tilled and improved Sandy Land is very warm and free very apt for Vegetation and amicable to most of our choicest Fruits and Flowers but if the Sand predominate it will require a constant supply of proper Soyls to enrich it SECT III. Of the Improvement of such Soyls THere are many parcels of Land lying near Towns Villages and Houses that are of that excellent mixture of Loam and other Earths that they are capable to entertain most of the delicate Fruits Flowers and other Curiosities that are fit to be planted or propagated in your best Partirs without any other mixture or composition other than convenient dung of Oxen Cows Sheep Pullen Pidgeons and sometimes old and rotten Horse-dung to preserve it in its due and wonted fertility it being by continual weeding and the attraction of the Plants you furnish it withal apt to sterilize So that where your ground is thus naturally fertile and prone to vegitate you need take no other care than to apply proper Soyls or Compositions according as the nature of your Plant requires or to maintain it in its full vigour Claiy-Land being cold moist and stiff is to be converted by labour and mixtures of a contrary nature if you dig it often the Sun Rain and Frost will make it more friable and fertile For take Clay and lay it on any other Land it will in time dissolve and unite in minute parts with it that you shall hardly discern it so
