A correspondent of the London Garden describes the mode by which he makes pyramidal flower beds, about six feet in diameter and six feet high - one or two of which, well made and planted, have a striking appearance in a flower garden. Of course they must be sparingly introduced. First, with a crowbar, holes a foot apart are made in the circumference of a six-foot circle. In these are inserted, vertically, stakes or round poles, alternately four and a half and seven feet long. Within these poles build up conical mass of strong loam about four and a half feet high, and with a foot or more space between the cone and the poles. Ram the earth well together to prevent settling as it goes up. Then draw the poles together at the top, and secure the taller ones to a strong wire ring, six inches in diameter, and then run a wire around the tops of the shorter ones, and brace and secure all well together. Then plant the bed as follows: Lay alternate layers of smooth, damp straw and good garden soil out as far as the poles, inserting, while thus building, successive rows of plants for blooming. A strong, conspicuous plant is placed at the top. When finished, pare off all the projecting straws. Fill all the cracks with moss.

The moss, if abundant, will give a good facing, and prevent the bed from becoming dry; and, when thus made, they have kept moist and needed but little watering.
