en is laid out, and all available cards have been played
(Rule III), take up by itself each perpendicular column, beginning on
the left, placing the next column underneath the first, and so on with
each column in succession, so that, in turning the pack to re-deal, the
last column on the right may be uppermost, thus reversing the order of
each row of cards in the next deal.
The garden may be taken up twice and re-dealt exactly in the same
manner and observing the same rules.

One Entire Pack of Cards
PLAY
Deal out in horizontal lines six rows each containing eight cards. In
dealing these, you must be careful that there should never be two cards
of equal value in the same _perpendicular_ line. If, for example, two
kings or two fives (the same, of course, applies to all the cards) were
to be underneath each other, even though several other cards intervened
between them, it would be useless to proceed. You must, therefore,
consider the duplicate card as unavailable for the moment and place it
at the bottom of the pack in hand, and proceed to deal the next card.
When the tableau is complete, four cards will remain, which are to be
placed aside, as a reserve. You then examine the tableau and endeavor
to pair the cards, taking only those of the lowest row, until their
removal releases those above. When no more can be paired, you have
recourse to those of the reserve, taking them up one by one. If the
first cannot be paired, put it aside, taking the next, but the card or
cards so put aside can be paired afterwards if the opportunity of doing
so arises. If all the cards cannot be paired, the game has failed.

Two Entire Packs of Cards
RULES
I. The foundations ascend in sequence, but are formed in alternate
colors: red ace, black deuce, red three, and so on.
II. Cards placed on the Auxiliaries descend in sequence, but must also
alternate in color.
III. Vacancies in the Auxiliaries are filled by cards from the Rivals;
vacancies in the Rivals, by cards from the pack or talon.
PLAY
Withdraw from the pack the eight aces, and place them in a horizontal
line (the suits as in tableau). These are the foundation cards, which
ascend in sequence to kings (Rule I).
Next deal out eight cards and place them above the foundations in two
rows, four cards in each (see tableau). The upper row is ca
