About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1911 Excerpt: ...3. Potting and re-potting plants. 4. Propagation. 5. Bulbs. 6. Care of plants. MIXING AND FERTILIZING THE SOII.. The preparation of the soil is one of the first and most important points for success in gardening of any kind.

A spring hot-bed will often furnish sufficiently well rotted manure in the Fall in case cow manure is not to be had. For Palms And Roses use in place of the soil pure clay. This is generalh-best mixed by allowing it to dr' and then pulverizing and mixing. Cacti of all kinds are not generally suited by the ordinary soil mixtures, and ...
