INSTRUCTIONS FOR LAYING OUT 
SMALL GARDENS, AND PLANTING 
TREES AND SHRUBS. 
Where new gardens are formed, the ground should 
be properly prepared by digging it over, and leveling 
it before any trees or shrubs are planted; and if the 
soil is shallow, some fresh earth should be procured, 
to make it of sufficient depth. 
A portion of manure will also be necessary to ensure 
the growth of shrubs and herbaceous plants, and a 
small quantity of lime may be advantageously added to 
decompose the stable manure, which should be spread 
about two or three inches thick over the ground, and 
subsequently w r ell dug in. 
For the formation of a flower garden, no particular 
plan can be prescribed, as in almost every instance 
some varieties will be necessary to suit the particular 
circumstances, but the following may be taken as 
general hints.
