Excerpt from Illustrated and Descriptive Catalogue, 1899: Garden, Field and Flower Seeds, Agricultural and Horticultural Implements, Fertilizers, Etc Where the soil is too light, a thin layer of clay, if to be had, should be spread over the surface in the autumn, and dug in, after being pulverized by the winter frosts in the spring. This, with the use of old manure - that which has lain a year or more, and been frequently turned over till it becomes thoroughly decayed - will keep the garden in good condition. N o unvarying rules can be given; much must be left to the judgment of the amateur. He must understand that the soil of a good garden should be deep, well pulverized, friable and rich. Where the flower garden is a specialty, then more pains ought to be taken, and those who are about to do this, if they have not the requisite information, will consult something more than a catalogue. Our hints are intended for the mass of the people who love flowers, and do not wish to incur great expense in the gratification of their taste.
