powder over tfie feedling plants lightly with foot, 

 before the third leaf appears. It is probable that 

 the bitter flavour of foot is very difguflful to birds 

 as well as infers. 



The firft year I fucceeded very well in planting 

 out my cabbages; the weight of the crop being 

 from ten to twenty pounds, which was equal to 

 my expedbation, confidering the ground was light 

 and fandy. 



The next year, I fowed my cabbage-feed as 

 ufuaL .When the plants were fit. for tranfplanting 

 from the feed ted, I attended, and found many of 

 them had knobs or warts on the roots, fome the 

 fize of a pea, and others larger. On cutting fome 

 of thefe knobs off, I found a very fmall worm in- 

 clofed. I ordered them to be planted out 3 and 

 looking over the ground after they had formed 

 pretty good heads, I obferved many of them looked 

 fickly, having a blueifh cafl on the leaves. I pulled 

 feveral of them out of the ground, and found the 

 roots fwelled as big as a child's fift, the grub- 

 worms being then come to perfedlion. 



To prevent this, tranfplant only fuch as are 

 quite clean from warts. At the time of planting, 

 the ground is frequently dry, and fometimes even 



fcorched
