Edgings of Walks.-The faults which we have been obliged to find with the edgings of walks, in former articles (Vol. VII. p. 404. 546.), are less frequent in that part of Scotland which we passed through, than they are in England; partly, we believe, from there being less labour to spare for the walks; but partly also from gardeners being fully aware that the harsh edgings, which we complain of, are deformities. Hoeing and raking, which among growing crops may certainly be considered beauties, because they are presumptive evidences of good culture; we found by some gardeners considered beautiful when applied to gravel walks; but on this subject we need only refer to what we have said before. (Vol. VII. p. 541.)
