GARDENS THAT NEVER FAlL.E

OF ours, when apologlsing for the sl0ven.
y appearance Of the patch Of ground
which he dignifed with the name Of gar
den, and in which, each year, after piow>
ing and narrowing the grounS, he is ac.
cusirmed TO plant cabbages, onio ns
beets, cucumbers, melons, &C., for The
supply Of his family; but the soil being
claycy and NOT over5 OF 6 inches in
depth, with, a compacl subsoil beneath,
The crops were Of course liable 10 dry up
10 such season Of severe diuulh US was
last year in June-and as such seasons
are by no means unusual in this climate
il is good policy for every one who has
garden, or vegetable patch, 10 adopt
such system Of culture as will prevent
the danger Of failure from. this source.
Deepening the Soils the only effect
i've means Of psicclion against failure
from drouih. Plow or spade up the sub
soil in the fall. 80 as 10 expose il 10 the
mellowing effects Of frost, say 10 the
depth of foo, at least, and IL deeper,
so much the teiter, adding good sup
ply of stable manure, the crops will then
push their roots so deep, aud moisture
will rise from below SO constantly, that
while other gatdens around may fail
from drou,h, this will continue green and
houriShlng-and the increased yield as
well as improved quality 9! It's products
will in single year almost or quite pay
for the espcnces Of tho improvement
Cucumber, melon, aid similar vines
appear 10 have small roots, but their roofs
run very deep il opportunity is offered
them. Experienced gardeners will mol
fail to give them deep as well as rich
ground, in this sunny climate whctc
drnuIhs nre 80 frequent. The same is
rue of cabbages, and in Short neatly all
kinds Of garden vegetsbles. The direc-
lions for The culture OF such things as
given in most books on gardening, ure
written By persons unaccustomed to sn
dry and warm climate as ours. and
heuce are d, ficient in not suffici ly in
sising upon deep culture as presen,-
i've of injury from droulh. We find il
necessary 10 give slime upon line" on
this subject.
SowIAe FLOWER SETD4.-With alIihc
care and pains, which we have frcgueni-
ly stated are necessary in this climate
for gro wing most kinds of annual flowers
frnh seed, we do moi expect many Of
our readers will often be successful, es.
pecalIy with the more delicate kinds
and with scorching drouihs which are
more or less frequent every year. Still
with good soil, shade aud watering, some
beautiful kluds succeed wiihou, difficulty,
and we Lave given up attempting 10 grow
many kinds Of ANNALS. (See remarks
on sowing, &c.,in our vol. Of lac. year.
