1769. 



Since the nrft edition of thefe papers^ 

 Mr. Scroope has been fo obliging to acivife 

 me by letter, of the produd: of one crop 

 of cabbages, among feveral others, in the 

 year 1769. Three acres, two roods of land, 

 of 25 J", rent, maintained as follows : 



Begun to cut the 30th of December, for 

 9 oxen, 12 weeks and an half,

The 28 fheep mentioned above, for fix 

 days, were taken to cabbages, w^hen turnips 

 could not be conic at for f roft and i'now.

 this excellent cultivator's experiments on 

 cabbages, I fhall next draw into one in-r 

 ftrudiion, his fentiments on the method of 

 planting and managing them, being the 

 r-efult of all his experience.
