green-hoiise, or any forcing-liouse, in boxes, pyra- 

 mids, or in the borders. See January on this sub- 

 ject. 



Of sowing Radish and Lettuce, 

 Short-top radish, and the queen or turnip-rooted 

 kinds may be sown on the border, close in front of a 

 pinery or other stove; and if the winter be not very 

 severe, they may have a chance of coming to per- 

 fection. If not, the trouble is little, and the ex- 

 pense next to nothing. 



A little brown Dutch and green coss lettuce might 

 be sown at the same time along with the radish, 

 which might also have a chance of succeeding. See 

 January on this head. 



Of trenchingy or ridging up vacant Ground, 

 Now trench, dig over roughly, or ridge up all 

 vacant pieces of ground, according as they may re- 

 quire, in order that the weather may meliorate 

 them, by acting on the surface ; which, for this 

 purpose, should be enlarged as much as possible^ 

 by being left quite rough.
