ABSTRACT
The garden has not suffered much from the hot dry weather, as, independent of the daily service of watering-pots, it obtains a constant supply of water from a higher part of the brook, conveyed through very thick bamboos, which, although split, answer the purpose of leaden pipes most admirably. Each vegetable plat is raised, and the divisions between them, where water-cresses flourish nicely, are kept like running streams by means of this bamboo aqueduct, whose contents are turned off and on as occasion requires.
