The PraBice of Gardening, Z07
CHAP. IV.
Of Nurferies, andth&Cave that Jhould
be taken of them; with the Manner
of raifingfrom Seed all the Plants
that are made ufe of in Pleafure-
Gardens.
THIS Chapter will appear none of the leafV ufeful in
this Treatife, if we confider the Expence a Nurfery
laves, or the Convenience it conltantly affords its Mafter. One
Sign of its Ufefulnefs is, that all great Houles are molt com-
monly provided with them, as things perfectly neceffary and
indilpenfable in Gardens of great Extent.
One great Advantage of a Nurfery is, that when any
Tree dies in a Garden, you may pick tone out of your own
Ground to lirpply its Place, without being obliged to leek
abroad, fbmetimes a great way off, and withal to buy dear j
befides, Trees take - better, and grow more beautiful, when
they are raifed in the lame Ground, the Roots not having
time to take Air and dry in the ipace that a Tree is taking
up and replanting, when done fo immediately.
'T1 s an Accident too often happens to Trees that come
from far, that the Roots lole their Spirits, or are frozen and
luffer much in tranlporting; which occafions the Death of
molt young Plaiiis.
Nur s e R 1 e s are ordinarily fet in By-places, as at the
end of a Park, or the like. 'Tis not but that, with Care,
they may be made agreeable enough to Sight, and that 'tis,
ar lealt, as pleafant to look upon a Nurfery, as it is to fee a
Kitchen^
