GATES. 



Garlic. 



This bulb, which, from 

 of its odour and pungency 



the strength 

 of its taste, 



clove of garlic cut in two. In planting, the 

 cloves should be set separately. 



Garnishing, Herbs for. 



These are handsome in growth, and use- 

 ful for domestic purposes. Among them 

 we may enumerate the ice-plant, the curled 

 mallow, Melville's garnishing borecole, 

 triple curled cress and parsley. 



Gates. 



For single gates across a carriage road, 

 across a pathway, or anywhere else, those 

 shown in Figs, i and 2, being of an orna- 

 mental character, will be found appropriate. 

 The number of bars and patterns of such 

 gates can be made to suit every purpose 

 requires to be used in small quantities, and gratify every taste. On carriage roads, 

 is propagated, planted, and managed in gates should never be less than four, and 

 precisely the same manner as the shallot, ! seldom need be more than 6 feet in 

 which sec. A number of bulblets, tech- j height, 5 feet being an excellent average, 

 nically known as " cloves," are found j The construction of these gates cannot be 



grouped together in one whitish integu- 

 ment, or capsule, which holds them, as it 

 were, within a sack. A clove inserted in 



described at length here, but the principle 

 involved are explained by the sketches 

 themselves, from which any carpenter of 



B 



the knuckle of a shoulder or leg of mutton ! average intelligence, or any amateur who 

 imparts a slight flavour to the whole joint, ! can use a saw, plane, hammer, and chisel, 



might easily make 

 them. Gates may be 

 of wood or iron as 

 preferred. As a 

 general rule, they 

 should always be in 

 harmony with the 

 character of the 

 fence. Occasionally, 

 however, in pleasure 

 grounds, where a 

 rabbit -proof fence is 

 hidden with shrubs, 

 the gate spanning 

 FIG x the walk may be 



much better and 



and a rump steak is much improved by more elegant than the fence, of a character 

 being placed and eaten on a plate that has similar to that shown in Fig. 3. Beautiful 

 been rubbed over for the purpose with a gates of this description are now supplied
