 one third fine river sand, one third decayed 

 scrapings of the cow yard, and one third well 

 rotted pasture turf.

 perials, and Lilies, were planted five inches 

 deep from the top of the bulb ; H jacinths, 

 four inches ; Tulips, Narcissus, and Jonquilles, 

 three inches ; and Crocuses and Snow Drops,
