FEBRUARY. 



WHEN the ground can be conveniently worked, 

 this is a very busy month, and no time must be lost, 

 nor hands spared, that every thing may be done in its 

 proper, or earliest season. 



The last week is the principal, in which many 

 things are to be done, and some full crops sown : 

 The skilful gardener is properly aware of this, but 

 ordinarily the month of February is too much neg- 

 lected.
