Note 22 — Chapter III
Reading edition
"Mr Evelyn has a pleasant villa at Deptford," writes Gibson, "a fine garden for walks and hedges (especially his holly one which he writes of in his 'Sylva') ... In his garden he has four large round philareas, smooth-clipped, raised on a single stalk from the ground, a fashion now much used. Part of his garden is very woody and shady for walking; but his garden not being walled, has little of the best fruits."
