The soil cannot be plowed, dug, or stirred too much ; it should be dug and hoed, not merely to keep down the weeds, but to en- sure the health and prosperity of the plant. Cultivation is to all plants and trees manure, sun, and rain. It opens the soil to the nutrition it may receive from the atmosphere, to the beneficial influence of light..., and to the morning and evening dew. It makes the heavy soil light, and the light soil heavy ; if the eajth is saturated with rain, it dries it ; if burned up with drought, it moistens it. Watering is often beneficial, and is particularly so to roses just before and during the period of bloom ; but in an extremely dry season, if we were obliged to choose between the water- ing-pot and the spade, we should most unhesitatingly give the preference to the latter.
