equally over the surface of the peat with a rake, they must be 

 rolled over and over, until they form a kind of cake above the 

 peat, and then the walk is finished. It may be thought that 

 walks of this nature will be damp, but I have always found them 

 as dry as those that are made with stones and gravel ; and they 

 are strong enough for all the ordinary wheeling that is required 

 in the flower-garden. I have no doubt that the valetudinarian 

 would derive great comfort from such walks ; and if they tend 

 to make the flower-garden a greater source of pleasure, I shall 

 have gained my object.

A subvariety of the moss rose, obtained from France, and 

 curious from the manner in which the moss springs in tufts from 

 the edges of its sepals. In a note by Mr. Curtis, he says, " Its 

 beauty and variety will, I hope, plead an excuse for a departure 

 from the rule against figuring varieties in this work." [Bot. Mag.)
