 prepared for the reception of the frame. A few inches of rich loamy 

 compost must be spread over the manure, and on this seeds are sown 

 of Cabbage, Tomato, Pepper, Egg-Plant, and others -which require 

 forwarding: also Flower seeds for transplanting to the border. 



In addition to the Hot-bed frame, mats for covering will be required ; 

 and to work the garden, the necessary implements — spade, rakes, hoes, 

 garden line, and other less important articles, in addition to seeds, 

 which are the most important item. *

Seeds. — We have only to say on this subject, that we endeavor to

 cheaper than we can grow it, we think it right to do so. This is the

 higher cost than it may be produced by others, provided the article be 

 equally reliable, merely to make a show on paper.
