and a great deal of it will not appear until 

 there is rain. 



THE weeds at the fame time will grow r 

 and there is no hoeing until the carrots are 

 all up : in that cafe the largeft of the 

 weeds muft be pulled by the hand; for 

 if they are permitted to grow until the 

 carrots are vifible, they will be too ftrong 

 to cut with the hoe ; and if then pulled 

 they will draw many of the carrots out of 

 the ground, for there are many of the an- 

 flual weeds that ipread their roots very 

 much when they are permitted to {land 

 to grow large; 



WHEN the feafbn will permit, the earlier 

 the carrots are fown the better : if the 

 ground is tolerably dry, they ma-y be fown 

 the beginning of March, for after they 

 are come up they will ftand a hard froft 

 without fuftaining any injury. 



THEY mould be fownasfoon as poffible 

 after the ground is plowed for the laft 



time*
