Attend in spring and autumn to _walls and buildings_, and get them
repaired, jointed, glazed, and painted, where wanted. Attend at all
times to _machines, implements, and tools_, keeping them clean,
sharp, and in perfect repair. See particularly that they are placed
in their proper situations in the tool-house. House every implement,
utensil, or machine not in use, both in winter and summer. Allow _no
blanks_ in edgings, rows, single specimens, drills, beds, and even
where practicable, in broad-cast sown pieces. Keep edgings and edges
cut to the utmost nicety. Keep the shapes of the _wall-trees_ filled
with wood according to their kinds, and let their training be in the
first style of perfection. Keep all walks in perfect form, (whether
raised or flat,) free from weeds, dry, and well rolled. Keep all _the
lawns_ by every means, of a close texture, and dark-green velvet
appearance. _Keep water clear and free from weeds_, and let not
ponds, lakes, or artificial rivers, rise to the brim in winter, nor
sink very far under it in summer.
