CARROTS. 255 



plowed when the cabbages are got on\ 

 and lie rough until the time of lowing the 

 carrots, and mould then be harrowed with 

 a large harrow, plowed immediately, and 

 harrowed, the feed fown, and then flight-lj 

 harrowed with a bum -harrow, 



IF the ground intended to be fown be a 

 deep but hungry fand, it mould be ma- 

 naged in the fame manner, but fown as- 

 early as poffible ; for if the plants do not 

 get good hold of the ground before the 

 dry weather comes on in the fpring, they 

 will come to nothing; ; but if {own earlv, 

 there will be a fine crop. 



SANDY loam is a very good foil ; fucli 

 ground is always of a good depth, and a 

 fine crop may be ex-peeled. It fhould be- 

 treated much in the fame manner as the 

 former, only it will require a little more 

 harrowing before the feed is fown. 



I F fliff loam, carrots will thrive very 

 well ; but it will require a good deal more 



working
