Here let mo outline, in brief, what a
farmers rsrden may be made, without
ether than homo labor. broad walk
shan fua down The middle Of either square
eueioeurc. or long parellologram, A box
edging upon either side is oflittlo cost, and
contributes eminontly TO neatness It will
hold good for eight years without too
much encroachn4et and az that time, will
Bell TO tho nursoryman for more than
enough 10 pay the cost Of rosotting, On
eithor side Of this walk In border Of six
feet wide the farmer may plant his dwarf
fruit, with grapes at intervals, to climb
upon home made cedor trellis, that shall
overaroh tho walk,
Az least one half the garden, as before
suggested, he saay emsly arrange, TO till
Spring and Arftufm-witll the plow and
wfmtevef he places there in the way Of
tree and shrub, must be in limos parallel
with the walk. On the other half, he will
be subjected to no such limitations; there,
he will establish bis perennials---his aspar-
agus, his thine, his gooseberries, straw
berries, aud raspberries and in an angle
hidden II he CHOOSE by bolt of shrubbery
he may have bis compost heap or hot bed.
Fork culture, which all these crops demand
will admit of any arrangement he may pre-.
fer, and ho may enlven the groupings, and
win the good wife's favor, by here and
there little circIet of such old fashioned
flowers az tulips--yellcw lilies and white,
with roses of oil eolors.
Upon the other half he may mako dis
tributon Of part by banding tho various
crops with border lines Of China or Relu-
gee beans, ani he may split the whole
crosswise, by walk overarohed climbing
Limas, or the London Hortcural-setiing
off the two ends with All abutinent ofscarlot
runners, and surbase of fiery Nasturiium.
There are also available and pretty de-
vices for making the land do double duty
The border lines of China which will be
rpeued in carly autumn, may have swed9s
sown in their shadow in the first days of
July, so that when tho Ohinas have fulfill
Cd their mission, thcro shall be a now line
Of purple green in their places. The ear
iy radishes and salads may have their lit
tle oirclet Of cucumber pits no way inter
fering with the first, and covering tue
ground when the first are done. The early
Bassano beets will como away in tmc to
leave space for tho full flow OF the melons
that have been planted at intervals among
them. The csulinower will hnd grateful
Bhade under the lines of nweet corn, and
the nswly.set winter cabbagce, tempo
rary refuge from the suu, under shelter
OF the ripened peas | DO not make these
suggestions ut random, but ~ tho results
of actual ani successful experience.
With s,ich simple and orderly arrange
ment, involving no excessive labor, thinh
every farmer aud country liver may take
pleasure in his garden as an object Of beau
ty. From the very day on which, in Spring
he sees the the first faint, upheaving tuftet
lines Of green from his Dan-O Roukes, tC
tho day when the dangling Lilnas, AnC
sprawling bloody tomatoes are snisten by
the frost IL offers q field Of constant pro
gress aud Of successive triumphs.
Line by line, and company by COMPANY
the army Of green things take possession
the little flowery banners are flung to th'
breeze aud oi presently every soldier o
them all--plunderedl only tho earth am
sunshiue--is loaded with booty.
