or at leaft, as Toon as put out, where not fecured with 

 flakes, they are broken off, or much diilurbed by the 

 jirfl high winds. 



Therefore let a flout flake be drove down to every fuch 

 new planted 'tree or fhrub, which the wind has evidently 

 much power over, either by their tall growth or 

 large head, and let the principal flem be tied to the 

 ilake in a neat and fecure manner. 



Gy^s Walks and Laijuns, 



Now let thegrafs walks and lawns be poled and rolled, 

 for at this feafon the worms will throw up very fall, and 

 make the grafs every where very dirty. 



The long pliable pole fhould therefore be often ufed, 

 in order to break and fcatter the worm calls about ; and 

 the grafs fhould afterwards be rolled with a wooden or 

 fome other roller ; which will not only render the fur- 

 face firm and fmooth, but will alfo make it extremely 

 clean, for the fcattered worm-cafls will all ilick to the 

 roller. 



This poling and rolling fhould, in order to keep the 

 grafs perfedlly neat, be performed once a week, or there- 

 abouts during the winter feafon. Choofe the driell days 

 to do this work. 



Now alfo let the grafs be thoroughly cleared every 

 where from the fallen leaves of trees; and as thefe are 

 now moHly all down, let them be cleared away in ever/ 

 part of the garden. 



Gravel Walks, 



Gravel walks mufl Hill be kept neat; let them be well 

 cleared from every appearance of a weed ; and let mofs 

 be dellroyed as well as poffible; for now it wiil fpread 

 apace^ this being the time of its growth. 



Let thefe walks be alfo often rolled : take advantage 

 of the dr^eft days to do this; and it fhould be done, if 

 poiTible, oi;ce every week. 



Some people break up their gravel walks at this feafon, 

 and throw the gravel up m ridL;;?, to lie in tJiat form all 

 winter; but 1 think it has a dii.^reea! le appearance in 

 any garden, pi;rtici,larly in Iniall gardens ; .t not only 

 locks ill, but the praftlce alio renders the walks unfer- 

 viceable, at a tinic wfi^n a foot ».an hardly be fet with 

 pleafure in any other part of the garden.
