290 NURSERY. [March, 



cellent preparative. Carrots, manured with a 

 good dreffing of dung, may alfo be admitted ; 

 but they are otherways a very fcourging crop. 

 We cannot enter upon the methods of preparing 

 the land and lowing the feeds of culinary vege- 

 tables here. * 



DESTROYING WEEDS. 



The dry weather of this month is a proper time 

 to begin the killing of the rifing weeds. A man 

 will do more execution in a day now, than he 

 will do in a week, if the weeds are allowed to 

 get to a large fize before he begin. Befides, by 

 an early clearance of the weeds, the powers of 

 the foil are referved for the growth of the young 

 trees and feeds. It is a very difgraceful thing for 

 a nurferyman to have his ground in a weedy 

 Hate. 



* We beg leave to refer to " the Gardener's Kalendar, 

 or Monthly Directory of Operations in every branch of 

 Horticulture," one volume ccUvo, published by Messrs, 

 Constable & Co. in 1310.
