TOW prepare fuch pieces of ground as arc vacant, 

 in order to receive fach feeds and plants as aie

Playit'nig Sa<voys and Cabbages, 



Get ready, in particular, feme good ground, to plant 

 out a principal crop cf favoys and winter cabbages. 



Let an open fpot of ground be chofen for thele plants ; 

 and let it be properly dug, and immediately put in the 

 plants. Let them be planted in rows two feet afuuder, 

 and about eighteen or twenty inches diltance in each row, 

 which, at this feafon, will be room enough, except for 

 the large kinds cf cabbages, vyhich fliouid be planted 

 two feet and a half dillance each way. — A watering at 

 planting, will greatly promote the frelh rooting of all 

 thefe plants.

 now be planted where they are to remain ; and, for that

Let the plants be fet in rows, allowing the dillance of 

 two feet between each row ; and plant them about twenty 

 inches diilant from one another in the row. Give them a 

 little water as foon as plimted ; and if the weather (hould 

 prove dry, let the waterinc^s be'repCrited once every two or 

 three days, till the plan-s have all taken root. -
