Select ground in a partially shaded situation; excavate and cart away all the soil to the depth of two feet; fill the hole about one-half full of dry pe.it mud; then from the hollow placcof an old oak wood, dig six or eight inches of the soil, which is principally decomposed de-composed leaves; cart and fill up the excavation, then lay over the top six inches of clear white sand; then begin at one side, turning, breaking up and mixing the whole together twice, allowing al-lowing the soil to remain for some time to settle. It will ultimately be no higher than the surrounding ground. In April or May plant all the sorts named, from two to two and a half feet, mixing the different colors to suit the taste. Afterward lay a covering cov-ering of leaves six inches in depth all over the ground amongst the plants, the same never to be removed; and as they decay through the, Summer, add more to those that have blown amongst them by the Fall winds. They are all propagated by seeds or layers, but as both methods take a number of years to cet good-sized flower flow-er plants, we would leave their propagation propa-gation to tbe nurseryman.
