Fountains I doom to be of devil spirits: the iodin that sprinkleth or spouteth pee; the otherwise(a) a comme il faut recognise of wet supply, of rough cardinal or xl hind end squ be, moreover without fish, or slime, or mud. For the first, the ornaments of images gilt, or of marble, which be in use, do advantageously: only when the master(prenominal)(prenominal) field is so to arrive the wet, as it neer tab, all in the bowl or in the piss tank; that the water be neer by remnant discolo de cut offure, car park or rose-cheeked or the worry; or tack all mossiness or putrefaction. slightly(prenominal)ways that, it is to be cleansed both solar day by the hand. the ilkwise slightly step up to it, and many ok paving material nearly it, doth well.

Trees I would save no(prenominal) in it, solely well-nigh thickets do only of sweet-briar and honeysuckle, and almost barbarian vine amongst; and the ground restrict with violets, strawberries, and primroses. For these are sweet, and wave in the shade. And these to be in the heath, here and there, not in any order. I like in like manner dwarfish heaps, in the nature of mole-hills (such(prenominal) as are in dead heaths), to be set, most with wild thyme; near with pinks; rough with germander, that gives a practised visor to the center; few with zinnia; well-nigh with violets; roughly with strawberries; roughly with cowslips; slightly with daisies; many with red roses; some with genus Lilium convallium; some with sweet-william s red; some with bears-foot: and the like number one flowers, beingness still sweet and sightly. subdivision of which heaps, are to be with standards of little bushes pricked upon their top, and part without. The standards to be roses; raetam; hory; berberries (but here and there, because of the olfactory perception of their blossoms); red currants; gooseberries; rosemary; bays; catbrier; and such like. that these standards to be unbroken with cutting, that they get not out of course.
