 A much higher produce than ever I heard 

 of before, and far exceeding Rocgue^s ut- 

 moft efforts clofe to London, 

 Carrots. 



Several years ago, Mr. Scroope had an acre 

 of fine carrots on a rich loam. A very large 

 ox was fed on them, but in three weeks he 

 furfeited ; the food was then changed, after 

 which, by giving fmall quantities at a time, 

 he did extremely well on them. 



In 1 766, a bed was drilled in fingle rows, 

 four feet afunder, upon a rich black loam. 

 They were horfe-hoed thrice, but left quite 

 thick in the rows. The carrots were very 

 fine, 1 8 inches long, and 1 1 in circum- 

 ference. They were given to pigs, who 

 fatted fo well upon them, that a few peafe 

 finifhcd them, and the fat was very fine 

 and firm. 



Drilled Tiirnips. 



In 1766, a piece of turnips was drilled, In 

 rows equally diftant, four feet afunder, and 

 12 inches from plant to plant; they were 

 horfe-hoed twice, and hand-hoed tv/ice. 

 The average weight of the turnips "j lb. 8 

 ounces, which is a very confiderablc produce ; 

 for it amounts to 36 tons 9 cwt. per acre.
