LANGUIDHING EVERGREENS.
Nobody likes to see the evergreens around their dwelling languishing. In such cases it will be found upon examination, that the ground is too dry and gravelly. Evergreens thrive best in moist, loamy soil, such as is natural to the mountains where they grow.— The evil can be obviated by trenching, and work in peat or muck. The American Agriculturalist says that the soil should be kept cultivated around all hedges and evergreens for several years after planting, and when well established, should be well enriched with manure.
