Rabbits are an intolerable nuisance in a flower 

 garden, and in some country places they abound 

 most destructively. A light wire fence about two 

 feet high, closely lattice-worked, or a net of the 

 same height, carried around the garden, is a sure 

 defence fiom these marauders. But where these 

 conveniences are unattainable, there are other 

 modes which answer the purpose, but they require 

 a little trouble and patience. 



It is the well-known nature of Rabbits and 

 Hares to dislike climbing or entangling their feet ; 

 and very simple inventions deter them from at- 

 tempting to gnaw the roots and the hearts of flowers. 

 They will not walk upon straw or ashes strewed
