Panopt. Garden. Nov 17th 1794

Shrub-Planting-
Mode of-

Make a draught
of the ground upon
a scale - a large
scale - and in the
draught mark down
the place of each
shrub with the name
or reference to its
name -

As there would
hardly be room
for the names, the
designation may
be facilitated by
squares characterized
by the coincidence
of letters and figures
as in the Paris Map
So even in planting
flowers

Specify also, under
the head of each
plant the number
of years growth if
it, and the price
as learnt from the
nursery: by this
means the expence
may be ascertained
beforehand with
exactness.

The sums of the
squares aught to be
that of the least
distance which any
shrub, or flower not
planted in batches or
close lines aught to by

By means of a Fire-
or a Hose
-Engine fed by the
canal the Garden on
each side may be watered
ad libitum-
Such watering will
be cheap: since in
addition to the Pressure
or other Pump the
only expence will be
that of a Hose equal
in length to the greatest
distance from the
canal - the labour
being all performed
by the Convicts -

from another. On
this plan plants of
the smallest growth
will be allowed one
square distance, and
so on to those of the
largest in which
occasion the difference
between present and future
from another.

To try in the trees the
effects of keeping the
bush clean &c in
Sewels method, perform
it and omitt
it up alternately
upon a number of
trees in a row.

In the narrow walk
for only two a breast
make internal arcade
by inarching the
branches of the opposite
sides.

Graft by
1. Perforation } ex latere
2. Splicing} ex opposite

Splicing 1 in the
way of opposition
2 - in the way
of apposition.

All the Dung imported
to be for made
into hotbeds before it
is spread.

Shrub-Planting

Tubers is to be considered,
and the
faculty and degree
and warn of
thinning.

such works not too
laborious as & are
not unsuitable to the

The sloping part
to be in grass:
at least so much
as is conspicuous
from Sewel's

The grass either
mowed, with trees
chiefly fruit trees
scattered on it:
or fed, in which
case it must be
without trees.

The sloping part
will not, be so
fit for stoney
ground: 1. as
being less exposed
to the Sun: 2. as
not being so pleasant
to look at
even if in shrubs
and flowers if
in narrow regular
lines (as for economy, when) as
when principally
in grass.

Make Dills in it
here and there.

Also hollow artificial
hills in
Bunce's method.
One may serve for
an Ice-house -
another for a cellar
The side fronting the
East It must be all
in mown grass -
since in account
of the young fruit-
-trees and shrubs
as Cattle can be suffered
on it.

The side fronting the
North may be for sheep

in the open ground
So, horizontally under
Hot-bed Glasses - with
wire netting to keep
out flies

So on the Conservatory.

The same anti-fly
case may serve for different
sorts of trees in the
same season by being
from one to another
as they ripen.

The fruit trees not in
fruit nor several of
the same sort together,
but scattered and interspersed.

Hedge for covered walks
and for screening the kitchen
and soup unornamental
Nursery part,
of filberts and cob-nuts
or Services.

The unpleasant parts
of the prospect may
be more effectually
excluded by small artificial
hills (solid or
hollow) than by planting.
The ced part may
be bounded by a set
of trees with gaps in
it letting in the pleasant
objects

The gaps may be arched
and planted over in
some places.

Consult prints and
grounds (natural
as well as artificial
for effects from
hillocks and dells.

Some of The principal pleasing
effects of old
trees might be
produced, and even
in an improved
degree by young
trees mounted
on the artificial
steep banks of winding
dells. with gaps
in the banks wherein
there were pleasing
objects to look at.
For an example,
consult the gardens
of Lambeth Palace
Mr C.Abbot.

To form the
mix proper flower
seeds with the grass
seeds seeds of certain
flowers & shrubs selected
for the purpose.

Support the slope
with a wall where
the steepness requires
it

Or let a range of
collaring form the
back of the slope -
The aspect makes
the Walls painted
with invisible green -
The sloping to the
South - The loopholes
for the prospect
to be closed by doors
open or shut according
to the wind & weather

To the collaring as
above may be added
the Ice House, &
cold conservatory-

This cold conservatory

parallel though not
too regularly parallel
to the warm Conservatory
