other, to the pursuit of Agriculture and
its twin sister Horticulture, a suHicieht

has followed this profession from :ui in

with its various o|x*rations than one
who merely plants for the supply of his ,

luv highest aspirations were gained,
when 1 could look upon the full grown
tree, flower or vegetable, that had been
planted with my own hand, nurtured
with my own care. Throughout the
long period to .which 1 have referred,
nu observations, and experience have
fully satisfied me tSuit the cause of so
many failures in gardening must be
traced to the neglect of what is too of
ten looked up m as matters of small
consequence, such, for example, as not
work in? the plants at the particular
time that they require this attention;
or, doing this at neriods when the
ground should not be moved ; giving
them deep, when they call for shallow,
work , planting at unpropituuisse:isons:
planting seeds gathered from degener
iite parents. These, aiming numerous
others, jin’ some of the faults eommitb 1
