Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Floral World and Garden Guide, 1867 The banks on either s1de of the walls are raised from two to five feet high, and the walks are planted with Stigma procumbens in the bays and recesses, because gravel does not long preserve a sightly appearance in such places, and the Sagina forms a green moss-like growth. In a peaty or sandy soil, mosses would grow freely in such spots but in our heavy clay land, mosses have no beauty. All the walks necessarily used are, of course, gravelled and well kept.
