The Borders of the fourth Sort are quite naked, being only
fanded, as in the Parterres of Orangery, and are filled with
nothing but Chefts or Cafes ranged regularly along the Bor-
ders, which, on the Sides next the Walks, are edged with
Box ; and on the other, with the Verges and Grafs-work of
the Parterre. Sometimes Yews are planted between each Cafe,
which makes the Borders look richer, and the Parterres much
handlbmer, during the Winter, when the Cafes are in the
Green-houie.
