- ' ' - ' ; 



ON THE ROTATION OF CROPS. 



AS in agriculture, fo in gardening, a 

 proper rotation of crops is of great 

 importance, and the reaforiable and ufeful 

 pradice of cropping a part of their ground 

 every feaf on, with fome of the fpecies of 

 grain or grafles, is becoming prevalent 

 among market gardeners ; which, befides 

 being ufeful for their cattle, is found of in- 

 finite advantage to their ground. 



This matter, however, can by no means 

 be fo effectually accomplifhed in the gar- 

 den, as in the farm, for thefe reafons : it is 

 fmaller, and the articles to be [cultivated 

 are more numerous, and alfo more a-kin ta 

 one another. 



The different articles, however, might 

 with propriety be clafled in this cafe, as, 

 Brocoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, and Savoys; 

 Beans, French-beans, and Peas j Carrot, 

 Beet, Parfnip, and Turnip ; Leeks, Onions^, 



Shallots,,
