46 The Gardeners Kalendar. Feb. 



Plant Potatoes and Jerufalem Artichokes, 

 toward the end of the month, if the weather 

 is inclinable to be good, and the ground dry, 

 otherwife it will be better to defer this work ^ 

 month longer, obferving to plough or trench 

 the ground deep, that the roots may be placed 

 at lead fix or eight inches below the furface, 

 otherwife they will not fucceed fo well : thefe 

 fhould have a loamy foil ; and when the roots 

 are placed in the trenches, there (hould be 

 ibme dung laid over them, efpecially in poor 

 ground, otherwife the roots will not be large. 

 This muft be underfcood for the Potatoe \ for 

 the Jerufalem Artichoke is fo very hardy, as 

 to multiply too faft in any foil or fituation. 



Dung and trench the ground well, where 

 you intend to plant Afparagus, letting it re- 

 main in ridges until the feafon for planting, 

 which wnll be the latter end of next month ; 

 but in doing of this, you fhould be careful to 

 make the bottom of each trench level, before 

 you put in the dung, which mull: alfo be laid 

 level : otherwife when you come to make the 

 d;ii!s for laying in the plants, the dung will 

 be turned up in thofe places where it lies 

 fl}allow.
