furrow flioukl be opened with the plough about fix 

 or eight inches deep, in which the plants fhould be 

 regularly laid at abqut the diftance of ten inches 

 from each other, taking care not to let the root be

 the earth is clofed about it, which fhould be im-

 this purpofe follow the planter with a hoe ; and he 

 muft not forget that the plants will be injured if the 

 leaves are covered. Another furrow muft be 

 opened about 1 8 inches from the lad, in the fame 

 direction, and planted as before -, and fo in like 

 manner till all the plants are depofited, or the field 

 is completely cropped; and when the weeds appear, 

 hoeing will be necefTary, and it will be right after-

 is little befide to be done in a farm, and that their 

 crop will be more certain; for if they are planted 

 after rain, they will not be checked by the removal, 

 nor will they be injured by weeds, or the ground 

 fuffer fo much by being thus planted, as otherwife it 

 would do, if the feed wer$ fown in the autumn.
