ROUTINE WORK. 



Clean and roll gravel walks, and if you have grass 

 walks, keep them regularly mown once a fortnight 

 at least. Clean, trim, and rake your borders ; cut 

 off all intruding weeds, and tie up your tall plants to 

 rods or stakes. 



Do every thing in your power to destroy grubs 

 of every kind, which are highly injurious to flowers, 

 and particularly to the leaves of the Rose tree, that 

 most beautiful of all beautiful shrubs, 



" Oh, the Rose, the first of flowers, 

 Darling of the early bowers." ' V^..
