pack-thread or spim-yarn may be run along on eacli 

 side of the rows, fastened to stakes placed at the 

 distance of six or eight feet from one another. 



Of planting Potatoes. 

 Now plant potatoes for a full crop. The middle 

 or latter end of the month is a proper time. For 

 directions, see March. The kinds are . numerous, 

 and every gardener has his favourite. I shall only 

 say for myself, that for full crops, at present, I would, 

 prefer the kidney, flat white, the grizzly or reddish 

 clouded, and, as the best keeper, the purple witii 

 pink eyes. The colour of the soil in which they 

 may have grown, has an effect on the colour of the 

 two last named ; but they are in appearance nearly 

 as described, both round, and have pink eyes. They 

 produce large crops in general, and should be al- 

 lowed two feet between the rows, and nine or ten 

 inches in line.

 Sow all these, for full crops, about the middle or 

 latter end of the month. Treat them, in every re- 

 spect, as directed for red beet in March ; only sow 

 a few inches closer between the lines, that is, from 

 nine to twelve inches, according to the strength of 

 the soiL 



Of sowing SdvoyL
