hold a dozen hyacinths, and as many crocus roots. The most beautiful I ever saw
in a window, were planted in this way, by keeping some in the sun, and others in
the shade you can have a succession of blooms; they are also pretty in
root-glasses, but this plan will exhaust the roots. After blooming in the house,
they should be planted in the garden. The same roots will not answer the next
year for parlor culture; they increase very fast in the garden by proper care.
There is something refining to the mind in the cultivation of flowers, either in
a garden or in pots. Many hours that would be weary or lonely, are thus
pleasantly occupied, and the mind refreshed.
I now take leave of the reader, with a sincere desire, that these remarks may be
of use; and that the receipts which I have been at some pains in compiling and
arranging, may be acceptable.
