How to manage a Garden 



always appears to me a very primitive form of drainage, 

 and one which is by no means entirely satisfactory. 



The Upkeep of Paths. 



Once the paths are well formed, there is little to learn 

 regarding their upkeep. They certainly will wear, and 

 should be repaired before they are so far gone as to 

 become a nuisance. When new gravel is put down, the 

 old should be loosened with a pick, and if found to be 

 rotten, carted away. The autumn and winter afford good 

 opportunities for attending to the making and repairing of 

 roads, not because of the nature of the season, but because 

 of there being then less work about. To keep a walk free 

 from weeds there is no better, and more economic, plan 

 than making frequent use of the weed-killers now on the 

 market.
