Depth and Distances. 

 tlyacinths. Tulips, Jonquils, Irises, and Colchi- 

 cums, should be planted at a depth of three inches ; 

 Crown Imperials five or six inches ; Lihes, Amaryl- 

 lises, Poleanthns Narcissus, and Common Narcis- 

 sus, four inches-, Ranunculuses, Anemones, and 

 Crocuses, one and a half inches; but the depth 

 should be proportioned at all times to the size of 

 the roots ; the rows should be about ten inches 

 apart, so as to admit the hoe between them, and the 

 roots placed from five to six inches apart in the 

 rows. 



Situation. 

 A southern exjposure, dry and airy, and sheltered 

 from the north winds, is prefereble for most Bulbs^ 

 but Anemones and Ranunculuses will do better in 

 a situation with a southern aspect, and at the same 

 time, in some measure, sheltered from the intense 

 heat of noon-day — but, in fact, after all that has 

 been said and written on the particular cuUivation 

 of Bulbous Roots, We often see the finest flowers 

 in gardens where little or no attention is paid to 

 them — and perhaps no class of flowers affords so 

 many delights, and so richly repays us for each fit- 

 tie care bestowed on them. 



Orders for Bulbous Roots should be forwarded 

 from July till October, inclusive, that being the pre- 

 ferable season for transplanting them. Persons wish- 

 ing particular assortments can be furnished with an 

 extra Catalogue, with the names of all the varieties 

 of 'I'ulips, Hyacinths, &c. as received from Holland. 

 Catalogues of the extensive collection of Fruit 

 Trees, Exotic, and American Ornamental Trees,

 lection of Green-house plants, may always be had
