Meadows, but in the Grafs Work of a: Garden, 
they break in upon that Uniformity of sesaea 
which is the great Article of Beauty. 9 
The only proper Mixture with the Grafs of 
Turf for Walks is the White Trefoil. It is a 
{mall Kind of this Plant which grows on Com- 
mons, whofe Leaves are numerous, their Foot- 
_ talks fhort, and their Colour a fine ne: : 
CHA 
Stumps and Bottoms are unpleafing in the high- - 
thefe mix well with the Grafs, and form a fine Sep a 
oreen thick Bottom, and the Flowers jin this ——— 3 
Kind are few; they are not colleéted in Heads as 
the other Trefoils, but ftand loofe, and near the 
Ground. 
This little Trefoil therefore has all the Quali 1 
ties requifite to thicken and improve the carpet- 
ing of Turf; and its being plentiful in the Spot 
whence that is to be taken, is an Advantage, not 
a Hurt, but this is the _ Weed that — be 
admitted. 
Such a Spot being chosen, let the Gidinc: 
prepare for the Work with Alacrity and Dift 
patch; Grafs is very hardy ; but we with it to 
grow without a Check when laid down in its 
new Place; and to this there requires Expedition 
in the laying, a due Thicknefs of the Body, and 
a good Preparation of the Bed on which it is ta

Of cutting and laying the TU R F. 
T the fame Time that an ehriot Hand is 
employed in cutting up the Turf, let the 
Gardener himfelf be preparing the Bed for it. 
We have directed the Walk to be laid naked, 
a to have an Inch and half of fine Mould upon 
: what he is now to do is to fee that the Sur- 
is to fprinkle it well over with Water. 
_ The Turf frefh cut from the Common is to 
be immediately laid down in perfect Regula- 
rity ; and when laid and beat, let it have ano- 
ther good Watering. We know Turfng” will 
fucceed, that is done with half this Trouble, but 
we lay down the Method by which the Succefs | 
will be perfect. | 
The bef Time is Evening ; the beft Weather 
it in the moft perfect Manner, only a {mall Space 
of the Walk fhould be covered at a Time. 
When the whole is thus laid, let it be lightly 
rolled with a wooden Roller, and Care taken that 
this preffes equally, and is well managed, other- 
wife it will injure the Shape of the Walks, elpe- 
cially of thofe which are laid with a little round. 
After this firft rolling it fhould lie to be re- 
frefhed by fome good Showers; and when about 
three Parts dried from them, it fhould be rolled 
again with the fame Caution ; after this it fhould 
bg left till the Ground is well dried, and then 
rolled with a heavier Roller. 
Thus the Walk will be kept to its true Form; 
the Turfs will be blended into one compact cover- 
ing, and: the whole will be perectéd.

‘The Care of Weeds has been in a great mea- 
fure obviated, by chufing a Turf naturally free 
from them; but if any appear, they muft be 
_ drawn out with great Care. 
After this the whole Care will confift in fre- 
quent Rolling and Mowing. The oftener this 
is done the evener will be the Surface, and the 
thicker the Bottom. 
It is ufeful at all Times, but moft effential in 
Autumn. The Mowings fhould be more fre-— 
quent than ordinary at that Time, for nothing 
can keep the Turf green in Winter but the pre= 
venting its pibodng up into high Blades at this 
Seafon. ? 
In all thefe Rollings, both of Grafs and Gravel, © 
Care muft be taken that they are not damaged in 
the doing it by the Feet of the Men, or Flores 
who draw the Rollers. 
The Horfes fhould be without Shoes, and have — 
their Feet covered with Woollen Mufflers; and 
the Men fhould wear for this Purpofe Shoes that 
are made flat, and have no rifing Heels. — -
