I j. a thoufand, and the tranfplantation 

 into the field the fame : A man fets iooo 

 or 1500 in a day, and a gardener 3000. I 

 made enquiries into the product, but could 

 learn nothing explicit ; however, if the 

 weight per cabbage is only 4 lb. the amount 

 is above ten ton, which, confidering the 

 feafon of the year they laft to, is a mod 

 valuable crop. 



Turnips are here cultivated in large 

 quantities, but in an imperfect manner : 

 Their foil about Coldharbour is fo light, that 

 they do not half pulverize it, even for this 

 crop, faying, that they mould get fcarce any 

 crops ; but their hoeing is very bad. I 

 walked over feveral clofes in a farm ad- 

 joining Mr. Middleware's, belonging to a 

 farmer who rents 550 /. a year ; and al- 

 though they had been hoed, they were 

 quite thick, and irregularly fet out. Mr. 

 Middlemore ufes for hoeing them a machine, 

 which I apprehend is his own invention. 

 See plate I. fig. 3. 



1. Three feet five inches. 



2. Five feet fix inches. 



3. Nine feet. 



4. The wheels 1 8 inches diameter. 

 The teeth are about 18 inches long, and 



fland nine inches afunder. It is a good 

 plan, and loofens the foil well; but then 

 the breadth of the fharcs (which is not 

 above three inches) is too fmall to ferve by 



way
