Of soils, and the improvement of forest-trees. With a new invention, whereby more designs of garden plats may be made in an hour, than can be found in all the books of gardening yet extant. II. The best manner of improving flower-gardens or parterres: of raising and propagating all sorts of flowers; and of the adorning of gardens. III. Of improving fruit-trees, kitchen-gardens, and green-house plants. With the gentleman and gardener's kalendar. To which is added, that scarce and valuable tract, intitled, Herefordshire-orchards.
