My late Father^ s Receipt. 
No. 3. 
% Barrowsful of night soil, 
1 Ditto of cow dung, 
1. Ditto of fine yellow loam, , 
4 1 Peck of sea sand. 
However, to make it easy and convenient for 
any person to become an Auricula grower, I 
shall hereafter add some veiy excellent re- 
ceipts, some one or other of v hich may be 
easily obtained and prepared by all. The next 
receipt I beg leave to give is that of my late 
Father, and which he grew them in for up- 
waixls of thirty years with the greatest success. 
He was allowed to be at that time as good a 
grower and bloomer as any man living : he 
seldom got beat when he shewed for prizes. 
Some of the following receipts I shall give 
on a small scale as to the quantity of earth, for 
the use of new beginners, or those persons who 
have not a wish to keep more than fifty or 
sixty pots of plants ; but it will not be worth 
while at any time to mix up a less quantity 
than four barrowsful.
