THE GARDEN OF CYRUS - THOMAS BROWNE TASCHENBUCH

'The Garden of Cyrus'  or 'The Quincuncial Lozenge or Network Plantations of the Ancients 
naturally  artificially  mystically considered'  is a discourse by Sir Thomas Browne.
Ostensibly an essay promoting the use of the quincunx in planting trees  whatever the value of
its wilder flights of fancy  it was in that respect entirely practical and conventional  as the
planting  especially of orchards  in multiples of quincunxes  that is to say staggered straight
rows  was already normal practice  and  as Browne says  long had been  as the most effective
pattern for maximizing sunlight on each tree.
