" Some observations made upon the gardens and plantation* which belong to the honourable John Evelin, Esquire, att his house of Sayes Court, in Deptford, in the County of Kent.
" During the time the Zar of Muscovie inhabited the said house, severall disorders have been committed in the gardens and plantations, which are observed to be under two heads : one is what can be repaired again, and the other what cannot be repaired.
" 1. All the grass worke is out of order, and broke into holes by their leaping and shewing tricks upon it.
"2. The bowling green is in the same condition.
"All that ground which used to be cultivated for eat- able plants is all overgroune with weeds and is not ma- nured nor cultivated, by reason the Zar would not suffer any men to worke when the eeason offered.
" 4. The wall fruite and stander frtiite trees are un- pruined and unnailed.
"5. The hedges nor wilderness are not cutt as they ought to be.
" 6. The gravell walks are all broke into holes and out of order.
These observations were made by George London, his Majesties Master Gardener, and he certifies that to putt the gardens and plantations in as good repair as they were in before his Zarrish Majestic resided there will re- quire the summe of fifty five pounds, as is Justified by me.
" GEORGE LONDON.
"Great dammages are done to the trees and plants, which cannot be repaired, as the breaking the branches of the wall fruit trees, spoiling two or three of the finest true phillerei?, breaking severall holleys and other fine plants."
