The Young Gardener. 
will afterwards have to draw a line to the new 
place from where you left off before. 
I strongly advise people to have all their own 
tools and measuring things, as much as they can 
separate. It is such nice rainy-day work to 
make and mark our measuring lines, and to cut 
little pegs and labels, and collect bits of list and 
half-untwisted twine, and strips of leather, and all 
such sort of things, and gardeners are always a 
great deal more good-natured when we really want 
them if we are thus independent, and do not keep 
running every ten minutes to hunt and fetch some 
new tool we want, which the chances are some 
people forget entirely to carry back when done 
with.
