Garden Walks 



In gardening, as in other pursuits, the old 

 order of things dies hard, and hence it is that 

 one seldom sees anything attempted in garden 

 walks which can be regarded as an improve- 

 ment on the common gravel or cinder path. 

 Yet it is possible, as I shall show, to make 

 the garden walk more permanent in character, 

 more picturesque, less liable to the inroads of 

 weeds, and in other ways so much better than, 

 the gravel path, that I am encouraged to 

 attempt the conversion of the reader to my 

 views ; especially as the expense is but little, 

 if any, more than that involved in laying good 

 gravel. 



My plan is to use common builder's bricks 

 to form a skeleton pattern, and to fill in 

 between them with a rough mosaic of stones, 

 pebbles, or rubble. Reference to Fig. 2 will 



make the mode of construction quite clear.
