piece ol ground ami throw out holes from 2 to 3 feet square and 1 foot deep, which should be at least 12 feet iipurt, the soil thrown out being used to raise 
tlie sides. A layer of dry leaves or litter shouhl be .spread over the bottom, ami afterwards a sullicieut (juantity of ordinary good soil, wlierein a small 
portion of leal soil and spent manure has been mi.xed, to refill it. Tlie plants being hardened off, should receive at the time of planting a good watering, 
and be shaded and protected as lung as necessary. Planted off in this manner tliey make firmer and shorter jointed growth, are more imdific, less
