drainage being all taken away through the gullies, ^nd the water below 
through the open joints of the tiles; perfectly dry, without worm casts, and 
without weeds. The narrow path should be from three feet to three feet 
six inches in width, the one crossing the shrubbery about two feet six inches 
wide, and that in front of the residence shaped as shown in Section i, page 191. 
They should all be formed and drained in a similar manner to the main path. 
The shrubbery, which runs nearly from one end of the garden to the other, 
and separates the vegetable portion from the flower garden, should be raised 
three or four feet in the centre, and slope down on both sides, as shown in 
Section 4. The lower portion of the west slope between the shrubs and the 
perennial border is to be turfed. The material required for raising the

shrubbery may be taken from the trench when making the paths, the pond, 
and the fountain. Raising the ground here above the level of the other 
surface adds greatly to the beauty of the garden. 
A fountain is shown in the centre of the lawn. This should be formed of 
brick or tile-clinkers, flints, or large stones, placed in a circle six feet in diameter 
by three feet high, the necessary water being supplied through a two-inch 
wrought-iron pipe under pressure, connected either to the main water-pipe or 
to a high-level cistern, and passing along underground at a depth of at least 
two feet, to ensure its being out of reach of frost, then up through the stone 
Rustic Adornments.
