WOODS AND COPSES. April* 



rather wifh to fee the garden yellow turnip grown 

 in fuch filiations ; becaufe they are not fo fevere 

 for the ground, neither are their tops fo large, 

 nor fo apt to encroach upon the young trees ; and 

 the weight of crop, even for feeding cattle, will 

 not be very much lefs than the other. Swedifh 

 turnip for feeding horfes are alfo a better crop 

 for fuch places, than the common field turnips 

 are. The Swedifh turnip mould be fown in drills 

 about the fecond week of May. 



If carrots are determined on for the crop, they 



mould be fown about the lad week of this month. 



Three drills of thefe, as advifed for potatoes, 



will be found fufficiently heavy between the lines 



of trees. 



The beginning of this month is a proper time 

 to fow lettuce for feeding fwine. The bed me- 

 thod is in drills, nine inches apart, leaving a fpace 

 of eighteen inches on either fide ; and thus there 

 will be fix rows of lettuce between the lines of 

 trees ; and the lettuce plants mould be thinned 

 out to fix or eight inches in the row. 



When there is a want of nurfery ground, the 

 fpaces between the lines of patches may be employ, 

 ed in that way to nurfe plants for a year, or for 

 two years. Thefe, howerer, will prove much 

 more fcourging for the crops than efculent vege- 

 tables. Trees, of any defcription "whatever, are 

 more nearly allied in nature to the tree feeds 



fown,
