In transplanting all kinds of budding
out plants care must be taken to provide
the very best compost that can be pro-
cured; and, if you make it yourself, be
sure to incorporate with it good share OF
sharp grits to make the soil light and
friable and prevent it from becoming
sodden and sour by the use of too much
water If possible, tits always better to
purchase the needfhl supply of potting
soil from florist; but if this is not OBJ
tainable, and sheep pastures are near at
hand, the soil under the roots of its trees,
mixed with one-quarter of its bulk in sand,
and one-quarter of common garden soil,
will make compost containing large
supply of plant food. l have seen the
most luxuriant callas, carnations, roses,
fuchias, ivies and geraniums grown in
such pottlng soil, and no greenhouse
benches ever exhibited greater perfection
of plant growth.-CultiUdtor
