lobed clover leaves. Before we lay it out let us 
make a plan on paper. 
That is work for a wet day in-doors.

wide, get twelve little squares marked out upon 
the paper, and six rows more behind them, and 
then each square will be a foot of ground, and if 
we want to be very grand we may call them 
acres ! Suppose the paper is all nicely marked 
out in squares, the next thing is to fix how to 
make the beds. Our prettiest garden was just 
like this first pattern ; (Fig. 1 ;) the beds were
