CONDITION OF GARDEN.
Garden* generally present a most untidy and neglected appearance, the borders and beds in many instances being overgrown with weeds. This has been unavoidable, as weather conditions during the past three months have kept the soil in such a wet state that it has been practically impossible to tread upon or work the land with any degree of satisfaction. As more harm than good would have resulted, especially in the working of stiff soils, it would only leave them in a sodden condition. When finer weather prevails it will take some time before digging can be proceeded with. In light volcanic and other porous soils it is different, and those who are fortunate enough to have this class of soil are able to dig and plant and make a fair show, good appearance, and provide for the spring season.
