of rowing the feeds in my garden, upon an hot-bed, 

 feme time about the I2th or 15th of Aprils about 

 the loth of June I tranfplanted them into the field, 

 where I had turnips, carrots, and other drilled crops; 

 the quantity of ground planted was exadlly half a 

 Scotch acre. It had been ploughed and dunged in 

 the ufual manner, the fame as the reft of the field, 

 where the turnips were fown and drilled in the fame 

 way into three feet ridges. About the beginning of 

 July they were horfe-hoed and hand- hoed, and ma- 

 naged exadtly the fame as the turnips. I forgot to 

 mention the plants were fet nine inches feparate in 

 the row, and not one of them failed taking roojt. 



'« In winter I began taking up a few for my. table; 

 they feemcd in general fmaller than our common 

 turnips, and longer, moftly of the figure and fize of 

 a quart bottle ; but iwke as heavy as a turnip of 

 the fame fize. For their ufe for the table, I can - 

 confidently recommend them as of fuperior flavour, 

 fo much fo indeed, that after eating them none of 

 my family would talle the other turnips. 



" I tried my cows and my fatting oxen with 

 them, and they ate them as readily as the common 

 turnips. My iheep uniformly refufed them as long 

 as rhey could get other turnips j this I did not-
