THE GARDENER'S COMPANION. 



GENERAL PLAN OF THE GARDEN. 



YOUR garden should be a little world of your own, 

 representing your own mind, and your own taste ; 

 made, according as your space and means will 

 permit, to suit your own special requirements, and 

 to be a delightful haven of rest at all times and 

 seasons. 



You will want walks of gravel for wet and rainy 

 days, others of grass for fine weather, and for the 

 sake of the pretty effects which may be had from 

 the flowers that border them. 



There must be warm corners with seats, shelter- 

 ing you from the cold and cutting winds in early 

 spring ; sunny nooks where you can sit and enjoy 

 the autumn days ; and other delightful spots of 

 cool shade to protect you from the burning summer 



heat.
