With such preparations made now you will have next 

 spring, not only a bed that will produce superb blooms, but 

 one that can be planted out in a few minutes after your 

 plants arrive from the nursery. The same preparation may 

 be made, to just as great an advantage, for a new flower 

 border. In this case it will not be as essential — though of 

 course desirable — to make the bed quite as deep, or be so 

 particular about the drainage, as for roses.
