MONTHLY LIST.

light soil suits all descriptions very well ; and I 

 never yet found disappointment in any description 

 of earth which was thoroui^lily well dug, and dress- 

 ed yearly from the mound of accumulated leaves 

 and soap-suds, alluded to in the first chapter. I 

 particularly recommend a portion of sand mixed 

 with the heap. All bulbs, carnations, pinks, auric- 

 ulas, ranunculuses, &;c., love a mixture of sand. 

 I know no flowers of the hardy class which reject 

 it. Mix sand well into your borders and plots, and 

 you will not fail to have handsome flowers. 



I subjoin a list of common flowers appertaining 

 to each month, in order to fill the borders with one 

 or more roots of each variety. I do not include 

 the annuals.
