S96 OF A GAKDEN. 



There should be a walk between the ridges, 

 about six or seven feet broad, sufficient to admit a, 

 cart to carry dung, wliich will be much more ex- 

 peditious than wheeling. The walk should be 

 made up as high as the coping, and sloping gently 

 towards each end ; the bottom sliould be filled up 

 and covered as before directed ; this wiJl be easily

It will be necessary to make a loose drain along

 for manure. 1 have experienced it to be much

 the level of the border, and the wall should then 

 set off a brick and a half thick. If the walls
