Rollers and Rolling

For keeping walks firm and in good condition, an iron Roller is requisite in gardens. The size must be determined by the extent and width of the walks to be Rolled. New gravel walks should always have a light Roller passed over them first, and a heavy one afterwards. Others, if they are firm, and have been well made in the first place, should bear a heavy weight always. Rollers of almost any size may be obtained in iron up to several hundredweights. Rolling should only be practised when walks are sufficiently dry to keep the gravel from clinging; the proper time frequently does not last long, and, when walks are rough, an opportunity for Rolling them should not be lost.
