132 THE FARMER'S MANUAL. 



When your hotspurs are up, plant, in the same 

 way. early turners, nonpariels and marrowfats, &c. 

 in succession, and in this way v you may continue 

 your peas until autumn. 



Cabbages. 



Select from your cellar the best of your cabbages 

 with heads, and set in some secure place, to stand 

 for seed ; set different kinds remote from each other, 

 to prevent their mixing their seed at the time of blos- 

 soming. Set, at the same time, your best cabba^fe- 

 stumps for early sallad and greens. If your ground 

 is moist, set fleet ; but if it is dry, set deep ; say six 

 inches or more. 



APRIL. 



Remove the covering from your strawberries, and 

 hoe them lightly. 



When your early planted peas are all up, continue 

 to plant marrowfats, or other rich peas, and go on to 

 bush your early peas as directed before. 



Set rareripe onions ; sow late onions ; and plant, at 

 the same time, beets, carrots and parsnips, for sum- 

 mer's use ; sow sallads and radishes with your on- 

 ions, they will be fit for use when your hot-beds arc 

 done. 



Cover your asparagus-beds with rich manure, (if 

 you neglected it in the fall,) dig over the surface 

 lightly, and rake it until the earth is mellow. 



Set garlics, plant Scarcity, or Mangel Wurtzcl, 

 sow cabbages, turnips, radishes, &c. Set all your 

 seed roots, if you have not set them before ; such as 

 ruta baga, beets, carrots, turnips, both long and 

 flat. Sow sage, thyme, mint, summersavery, &c. 

 with spinach, parsely and cellery. 



Plant English white potatoes, on a rich warm soil.
