HUTr, Landscape Architect ~ sdcssl l Ls cmsd A blkdtsr wl dkmt Ls cddsssC«scdwk ts Leak«cise u. sl C. Adsddk O«4 l ~ . ms hw Sd ~ Ii The use of fiag stones in the garden instead of the ordinary . board or concrete sidewalk is '"'-',.Jquite the thing nowadays. To ! 'ur way of thinking it is 8 great improvement over having 0 l. straight stretch of glaring white concrete or weatherbeatenboards 'cutting directly across the lawn ~or garden. Flag stones of almost any col- 'or can be bought at a fairly reas- , dlibtsonable price. However, if you -'are ambitiou8 and would like to 'l:save your hard earned pennies, ), rjteit is quite 0 simple mater to . make them yourself. If you have ;:."a car and are in the habit of .-'aking drives into the country, .you no doubt know where there is a sand and gravel pit along the " roadside. The next time you go out for a drive, put in s bag or «"lv box in the back of the car snd " . fill it with sand. Two or three . trips will supply you with all ' you will require for making paths for the ordinary sized arden. Buy a bag or two of cement from your local building upplies dealer and you sre all ,~ready to go. If you wish to have 0 stepping ethtone walk from the front of your lot to the front steps, meas- 'ure off the distance and the width you wish. Take your meas- urements to the basement or some place where there is suf- 'ficient floor space, lsy down " some tar or building paper over the floor to prev'ent the concrete from sticking to the floor and mark off the length and width of your walk with chalk. Secure some pieces of one by one and 'a half inch strips of wood and make a frame the same size and shape ofthe flag stones you think 'will look the most pleasing. It Jnay be necessary to do this sev- aeral times before you get the best arrangement, both from an artistic standpoint as well as from a practicable one for wslk- lng purposes. Get some cheap tin from 0 hardware store and cut it into strips the same widths as the strips of board around the outside Take 0 piece of cord and lsy it over the chalk marks to get the distance around each flag stone; then cut the tin the same length as the cord, lap the ends of the tin strips about 8 half an inch and fasten with 8 small rivet or tack driven through it, After you have suf- ficient tin pieces made, lsy them over the chalk marks and keep then in their proper places and the same shape as the marks on the paper by putting earth or sand between the tin strips, but not in the circles. (The concrete goes there.) The concrete mixture may be made in about the proportion of three parts of sand to one of ce- ment. Mix the two together thoroughly in their dry state and then add sufficient water so that the mixture will work properly. Fill the circles with the mixture and level ofi'ith a trowel. Al- low the flag stones to set for several days, then remove the frame and the tin bands and move to their permanent loca- tions, being careful to keep the stones in the same relative loca- tions ss they were laid on the floor. If the ares in which you are laying the stones is in sod, take the point of the trowel and mark the sod around the stone, lay the atone to one side and cut out the sod to the depth of the stone, replace the stone in the depression and the job is finish- ed. If it is desired to have 0 colored walk ,coloring material may be secured from a paint store. If you just wish to have a single flag stone walk winding through the garden, you w,"I only need to make several tin circles, shaping each one ss you wish.
