Note that in every case coarse stones or cinders are used as a foundation to insure good drainage and to prevent the disturbance of the surface by the "heaving" of loam or clay soils that often occurs in Winter joints should be provided at short intervals to prevent injury from frost. These joints are usually filled with asphalt or sand. For the walk in the garden, cement is hardly recommended as it is too glaring and hard looking. For such a place the informal stepping-stone or brick walk is more desirable. If cement is used it should have a little stain added to the finish Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Jennings, Arthur J; Johnson, Leonard H.
