Gardening in Californi 



leaves large open spaces and hard unevennesses. This bottom 

 layer should be evenly spread about five inches deep. After the 

 rolling is all done, the surface should be gone over with a shovel, 

 and any ruts or chuck-holes which may have been left by the 

 wagon wheels should be filled in, the object being to leave the 

 whole surface as even as possible. It should then be rolled with 

 a heavy roller at least three times, or until perfectly smooth. 

 There must then be a layer of finishing rock or gravel which will 

 pass through a half-inch mesh, spread evenly over the entire sur- 

 face about one inch deep and rolled into proper condition. 



This finishing coat, as a rule, is not put on until all the 

 heavy work on the roads, (such as hauling material for buildings 

 and planting the grounds) has been completed.
