4oS The Pleasure, or t^ug. 



Let the flieers for this purpofe be ground very fharp at 

 the points, that you may be able to cut the fides perfect- 

 ly neat. 



But this ought to be done in moid weather, if poffible, 

 particularly the cutting in the fides, &c. of the thrift 

 edgings, as if too cloiely trimmed in a dry hot feafon, 

 they are apt, foon after, to affume a withered, difagree- 

 able appearance. 



Mo^v Grafs* 



Continue to mow grafs walks and lawns, and let this 

 be done once a week or thereabouts. 



Let the walks and lawns be alfo often poled and rolled, 

 and this is almoft as necelTary to be done as mowing, to 

 keep the grafs perfedlly clean and neat, and the work of 

 mowing can alfo be thereby eite£led with much greater 

 eafe and expedition ; as alfo more clofe and evenly per- 

 formed. 



In mowing of garden grafs, take always opportunity of 

 dewy mornings or moift weather, while the grafs is wet, 

 for fhort graS cannot be mowed with any truth, when 

 dry. 



Gran? el Walks. 



Gravel walks fhould always be kept very clear from 

 weeds and litter, and thefe walks fliould be duly rolled, 

 at ieaft twice a week. 



Borders, 



The borders in this garden fhould be all kept clear 

 from weeds, and.always exceedipg neat. 



Thefe borders fhould be now and then gone over with 

 a fharp hoe, in order to loofen the furface and cut up any 

 weeds that appear. 



After this they fhould be raked over neatly, drawing off 

 all weeds and litter, and the furface fliould be left clean 

 and fmooth. 



brimming Flonver Plants, 



Look over all the plants in the borders or other parts of 

 the garden ; and where there are any branches that ad-

 cut off clofe, or Ihortened, as it ihall feem neceffary.
