SAND is one of the agents most fre- 

 quently employed by the gardener in 

 the culture of potted plants. The kind 

 most suitable to his purpose, is either 

 silver sand, or drift river-sand, both of 

 which are silica nearly in a state of 

 purity. These sands being very slow 

 conductors of heat, and affording a 

 ready escape for superfluous moisture, 

 are admirably adapted for promoting 

 the rooting of cuttings, and preventing 

 the damping-oft' of seedlings. See Po^-
