The NAVEW ( which is much admired by some, 

 and said to be the most nourishing sort of turnep)

The CABBAGE TURNER is of two kinds : one 

 apples above ground, and the other in it. This vege- 

 table is sometimes used young for the table ; but it is 

 chiefly cultivated for cattle. Sow it in May, or June, 

 for autumn use, or in June, or July, for the spring : 

 They are very hardy. If sown in a garden, and 

 pricked out, they may be transplanted in fields, the 

 first moist weather after a crop of oats, or barley, at 

 half a yard in a poor, or near two feet in a rich soil ; 

 and if the ground is foul, this culture gives a fine 

 opportunity to clean it, by repeated hoeing.

 biennial ; but if seed is not wanted, cut the stems 

 down in May, and the plant will put out side shoots ;
