LAYING OUT A GARDEN. 45 



On flat land, of course, it does not really signify in which 

 directions the lines run, but such a garden looks best if, when 

 the roads are straight, the lines run at right angles to them. 



In laying out a garden choose a central spot with water 

 handy for your factory, bungalow, and all your buildings ; let 

 your Tea-houses be as close to your dwelling-house as pos- 

 sible, so that during the manufacturing time you can be in 

 and out at all hours of the day and night. Much of your 

 success will depend upon this. Let all your buildings be as 

 near to each other as they can, but still far enough apart, 

 that any one building may burn without endangering others. 

 You need not construct any Tea-buildings until the third 

 year.
