The Subject of the following Book is Planting. In handling of which Argument, the Poet shews all the different Methods of raising Trees: Describes their Variety; and gives Rules for the management of each in particular.

After which he gives some Directions for discovering the Nature of every Soil; pre∣scribes Rules for the Dressing of Vines, Olives, &c. And con∣cludes the Georgic with a Panegyric on a Country Life.
