N. B. That the manner of fowing Carrots. in February or 
March for the Winter,.is performed as before dire&ed:;| but in 
the houghing or fetting them out, care muft be taken to leave 
them fingle, and not nearer, to, one another, than feven or eight 
Inches, 
And as we are. obliged, to hough amongft them, twice) at 
the Jeaft, ‘tis generally praQiled.in the /firkt, time of, hough- 
ing, to leave them rather thicker than) aforefaid, as at. the Di- 
fiance of five or fix Inches; and.at the fecond houghing, give 
them their proper Diftance.as before dire&ted. If that your Car- 
rots are yery. well grown when you come to the fecond hough- 
ing, be careful that the corner of the Hough don’t.cut or. bruife 
their, tender fides, which) will, caufe them togrow deformed, 
and very difagreeable to, the Eye. , 
When the Seafon for taking.up.thefe winter, Carrots is ar- 
rived, as. in October, and they have received their full Maturity 
of Growth, be carcful in taking them out of the Ground, that 
they are .not.cither broken, or, bruifed-with the Fork which in 
the Winter,caufes them to ,rot,;, that they, be well dried; and 
pitted. as, above dire&ted, and entirely, free from every, patt of 
their green Top, which never, fails.of making a very great rot 
amongft them, wherever it happens. 43 
‘The manner of preferving Carrots.in Sand where.’tis to. be 
had, and fufiicient Room within Doors alfo, isa, very.good 
Method ; but where large Quantities .are required, for darge 
Families, @yc.. and. very feyere Frofis, ‘twill:not do; and there- 
fore the aforefaid Method, whichI haye recommended, is much 
preferable thercunto.. 4
