Soil. This should be of a fine texture, 

 easily broken, and moderately light. It 

 should feel soft to the hand, and have a 

 little but a little sand amongst it. 

 The best is generally found near to rivers. 

 Let it be laid on a long heap, not too 

 thick, and turned over once a month for 

 a year. It will then be in good condition, 

 for use. Remove the old soil away from 

 the bed you intend for ranunculuses to

 two inches thick ; then bring the soil, 

 put in a layer of four inches, upon that 

 put a layer of rotten hotbed dung one 

 inch thick, and so proceed till the 

 bed is full, and raised two or three inches 

 above the surface. Let the bed be edged
