The California culturist . y bookor paper or periodical we get, we see little besides the same cuts, illustrations andsketches over and over again, we are yet standing awhile longer to weep over theold gentlemens graves. Whoever spends but the smallest portion of his time out of his library and easychair, and gives his eyes and ears, and we may say his hands too, a little exerciseoutside in the world and amongst men, will find many ideas and practices that theliterary hacks and book-making scribes of the present day never dreamed of. We are led into these observations by seeing recently, in a work of some preten-sions, a cut showing how to make a layer. It looked very nice in print; and, when done with a trembling hand and beating heart, inthe way described, is often successful. In a nurs-ery, however, where time is money, and the oldmaxim that the more haste the less speed isswallowed with a due mixture of savory mentalcondiments, a quick, steady workman is of greatimportance, and then the way of layering here.
