PORTING Son.-In transplanting all kinds Of bed
ding-ou plants care must be taken to provide the
very best compost than can be procured; and, if
you make it yourself, be sure to incorporate with
It good share of sharp grit to make the soil light
and friable, and prevent it from becoming sodden
and sour BY the use otto much water. Ifpossible,
1t is always better to purchase the needful supply
Of pottng soil from the forist but if this is not
obtainable, and sheep pastures are near at hand,
the soil under the roots of its trees mixed with one
one-quarter OF its bulk in sand, and quarter OF
common garden soil, will make q compost contain
ing large supply of plant food. l have seen the
most luxuriant calas, carnations roses, fuchsias,
ivies and gerannms grown in such apotting soil,
and no greenhouse benches ever exhibited great
er perfection of plant growth.
