to be disturbed at very frequent intervals. The ground should 
not have been recently manured, that being another serious 
drawback to several of the Daffodils, causing them to deteriorate. 
Digging Down duckweed. (A. M. W.) 
Digging down the weeds is certainly an easy way of getting 
rid of them for the time being, but you must remember that 
plants so far advanced as you state are full of seeds which will lie 
in the ground and germinate on the first favourable opportunity. 
They certainly add to* the. fertility of the soil when used in this 
way, but they also lay a seed bed for years of future trouble. We 
are well aware that market gardeners often practise this, but 
their land in the course of time becomes very weedy, and requires 
a deal of labour to keep down the weeds in order to let a crop 
get full possession of the ground.
