ips. Primerose double and single. The Violet nothing behinde the best, for smelling sweetly. A thousand more will prouoke your content. {SN: Borders and squares.} And all these, by the skill of your Gardner, so comely, and orderly placed in your Borders and Squares, and so intermingled, that none looking thereon, cannot but wonder, to see, what Nature corrected by Art can doe. {SN: Mounts.} {SN: Whence you may shoote a Bucke.} {SN: Dyall.} {SN: Musique.} When you behold in diuers corners of your Orchard _Mounts_ of stone, or wood curiously wrought within and without, or of earth couered with fruit-trees: Kentish Cherry, Damsons, Plummes, &c. with staires of precious workmanship.
