THE FLOWER GAEDEN". 105 Mumea elegans, Hicinus Gibsonii, Solanum robustiim and Solanum marginatum^ Wigandia Caracasana, and several kinds of evergreen and variegated shrubs. Planting the Beds.âThis of course implies that they have been properly prepared, and that according to the requirements of the particular plants. Thus another matter turns up, Adz., that the beds should be marked as to the plants they are to be planted with, before the preparation of the soil begins. All large foliage plants, most of the ery tender kindsâViolas, Verbenas, and Calceolariasââ ought to have abundance of manure and deep tilth. for digging. For long and square beds, and all beds â with straight edges, a plank is fixed edgeways, by driving pegs into the turf; then the soil being made fine and sprinkled, it is trodden against the plank till of the right height; the plank is then removed and the edge is complete, except a bit of levelling at the surface of the beds. It is necessary to plant such edgings as soon as made up ; otherwise it is diffi- cult to do, as the soil gets hard and crumbly. The Hemiaria, besides being the best, is a most accommo- dating plant for this work, as it splits up so readily, and every particle will grow. Edgings four inches in height should have two rows of these particles.
