Nous avons exposé ci-devant tout ce qui concernoit les Jardins, de quelque espéce qu’ils puissent être. Il ne nous reste plus qu’a traiter une matiere qui est des plus utiles à la campagne, ou l’on est presque dénué des secours qu’on trouve dans les Villes.

Des Simples par ordre alphabetique.
Il est à propos de disposer ses jardins, de façon qu’on en ait un particulier, dans lequel on ne mettra que des herbes médicinales, dont on tâchera d’acqué-rir la connoissance, & dont on se servira au besoin. On trouvera dans ce Traité la maniere de les cultiver , leurs vertus , leur dose & la maniere de les employer. On peut même assurer le Public que l'on n'avance rien qui ne soit fondé sur une longue & solide expérience, & que les Maîtres de l'Art n'aient enseigné de tout tems.
On pourra disposer ce jardin par planches, comme celui à fleurs, avec des plate-bandes de deux pieds autour des murs, pour pouvoir y arranger les différences espéces de plants qu’on voudra y mettre suivant leur genre, & suivant les différentes expositions qu’elles demanderont.

BOOK FIFTH.
Simples of the Gardens, or the Botany; & a familiar Pharmacy or Apothecary.
We have set out above everything about the Gardens, of whatever species they may be. We just have to deal with a matter that is most useful in the countryside, where we are almost devoid of the help we find in the Cities.

Simples in alphabetical order.
It is advisable to arrange your gardens, so that you have a private one, in which you will only put medicinal herbs, which you will try to acquire knowledge of, and which you will use as needed. We will find in this Treatise the manner of cultivating them, their virtues, their dose and the manner of using them. We can even assure the Public that we are not advancing anything that is not based on a long and solid experience, and that the Masters of the Art have not taught at all times.
This garden can be arranged in planks, like the one with flowers, with two-foot flower beds around the walls, in order to be able to arrange the differences in species of plants that we will want to put there according to their kind, and according to the different exposures that 'they will ask.
