ploughing, produced (including a fmall patch, which 

 I tried advantageoufly with parfnips) two hundred 

 and thirteen bufhels ; the greater part of both were 

 taken up in March, and given to nay horfes* The 

 turnips, which I harrowed in over the carrots, were 

 for the year (a failing one) a fufficient plant for the 

 wants of the dairy, after about two acres of cab- 

 bages and borecole had been confumed; which 

 turning out, like the carrots, a very imperfect plant, 

 the vacancies were filled up by every Jpecies ofrefufe 

 plants of the cabbage kind that were ufelefs in the 

 kitchen-garden, and our ceconomy was rewarded, 

 by not only faving this various herbage for the 

 cattle, but by having our own table unexpectedly 

 treated, from this, whlmfical field mixture, with 

 plenty of very forward and fine green brocoli, 



Such flovenly farming did not, it may be faid, 

 merit fuch plenty ; but it fuggefted to us, that, 

 with more becoming neatnefs, a field of about 

 three acres would, for the eflablifhment of any 

 country gentleman, be more advantageoufly culti- 

 vated in this than in any other mode of agriculture -, 

 fince by this gardening at the cheaper! expence, 

 under the plough, all the common winter and fpring 

 herbage, potatoes, carrots, parfnips, turnips, cab- 

 bages, borecole, and brocoli, might be annually 



raifed
