to making it a receptacle for seeds cuttings &c
of all the fruit and ornamental trees, plants and
shrubs required for the use of the Garden and
Cemetery, instead of obtaining them by purchase,
as well as with a view to a surplus for sale._
It will at once be perceived that some manure
will be requisite to accomplish this, and there
are upon the grounds some good materials
for a compost; Large quantities of fallen leaves
may be gathered in the forest, as well as the
black mud taken from the ditches in the low lands,
to these might be added what animal manure
there is made on the place, with the addition
of more to be purchased, if necessary, by these
means a good pile of compost manure might
annually be made in an economical way._

The Garden Pond seems to require no
immediate alteration._ The small circular
Pond north of the Cottage, requires to have a
parcel of the clearings, which have been thrown
upon the margin, taper out and the embank-
ment sodded to a suitable depth.__
