MAKING NEW GARDENS OR ALTERATIONS
Where new gardens are being made, or additions and alterations ere being made to old ones, the preliminary work should be carried out as soon as possible as weather permits, so that ample time may be afforded for cleaning and consolidating the land before sowing grass-seeds and setting out trees and shrubs in August and September, which is about the limit oft the “planting season” in most localities. Attention to drainage and repairs of paths and roadway may now be given as required. Nothing about the homestead possibly contributes more to the appearance and efficient working of the place.—New Zealand Department of Agriculture Journal.
