S9S OF A GAUDEN. 



weather, and convey it to a large cistern, or tank, 

 in the upper part of the garden ; this, if the road 

 be mended with Hme-stone or clialk, will prove an 

 excellent manure. The water from the cistern, or 

 from the river, may be conducted to the different 

 quarters by means of pipes, which having cocks at 

 proper places, the water may be turned upon the 

 different quarters of the garden at pleasure. Or 

 the water may be conveyed in proper channels, and 

 turned on the quarters in the same manner as in 

 watering meadows. 



These pipes, channels, &c. will be a considerable 

 expence at first ; but they will soon repay it by sav- 

 ing a great deal of time, which would otherwise be 

 spent in pumping and carrying water. The most 

 convenient time for turning the water on, is, in 

 general during the night : and in dry weather it 

 would then be of the most essential service. 



If the situation be such that you are obliged to 

 pump the water from deep wells, there should be a 

 large reservoir, in which it should be exposed to 

 the sun and air for some days before it is used : it 

 may then be turned on as above. 



If the ground be wet and spewy, it will be pro- 

 per to make a basin in the most convenient place, 

 to receive the water that comes from the drains, 

 and to collect the rain that falls on the walks. 



In laying out the quarters, you must be guided 

 in a great measure by the form and size of the gar- 

 den ; but do not lay them out too small, as in that 

 case a great part of the ground will be taken up
