WHAT A" GARDEN MAY BE.

Here let me outline, in brief, what far mer's garden may be made, without other than home labor. A broad walk shall run down the middle of either square inclosure or long par- allelogram. box edging upon either side is of little cost, and contributes eminently to nsstness; it will hold good for eight years, without too great encroachment, and at that .ims, will sell to the nurserymen for more than enough to pay the cost of resetting. On either side of this walk, in Q border of six feet wide, the farmer may plant his dwarf fruit, with grapes at intervals, to climb upon home made cedar trellis, that shall overarch and smbower the walk. If he love an evening pipe in his garden, may plant some simple seat under one or more of these leafy arbors.
 At least one half the garden, as I before suggested, he may easily arrange, to till- spring and autumn-with the plow; and whatever he places there in the way of tree and shrub, must be in lines parallel with the wax. on the other half, he will be subjected to no such limitations. There he will estab- lsn his perennials-his asparagus, his thyme, his sage, and parsley his rhubarb, his goose berries, strawberries and raspberries and in sn angie'-hidden if he chooses by belt of snrubbery, he may have his hot-bed and com. post heap. Fork-culture, which all these sr'ps demand, will admit of any arrangement ne may prefer, and he may enliven the group 'nss' and win the good wife's favor, by here snd there little cirolet of such old-fashione ed a0"srs as tulips-ysllow lilies and white. with roses of all shades.
 upon the other half he may make distr;bp- Hon or psrts by banding the various orops Ni.n border lines of China or Refugee beans ana De may split the whole orosswise, bv wal. 0'erarehsd with climbing Limas, or the Iouaon hortioultural-setting off the two ends ,"l'n an abutment of scarlet runners. add la sur. oase Of fiery Nasturtium.

 There are also available and pretty devices S"., ,0s making the land do double duty. The Dofdsr line of China beans, which will be
 psAsa Tn early August, may have swedes
 '"a .. ID 'nelr shodow in the first days of July, 90 that when the Chinas have fulfilled their m'ssion, there shall be new line of uurnle s'ssa 'n their place. The early radishes and '''"as may have their little circlets of cucum 'sr p,'s' no way interfering with the first, and 70 so'ef'ng the ground when the frs. ara done .ns carly Bassano beets will come away in tune 'o leave space for the full sow of n. melons that have been planted .t ;n..,r.,. among them. The cauliao~er will find .,..a
