 flower-garden on turf. That garden having been five years 

 executed, the parties began to get tired of it, on account of the 

 expense of mowing among the beds. We were therefore a 

 second time applied to, to furnish a design suitable for being 

 contained within the same low wire fence, the beds to be edged

 18 in. high, and gently curving outwards at the top. This fence 

 is not put down on the line of junction between the grass and 

 the gravel, but 2 in. within the gravel, in order that there may
