 Lee to injure light and stony soils. 



The winter-dug grounds will be ready to receive scarlet- 

 runners by the end of April or the beginning of May, and 

 cabbages, either of the autumn or the February sowing. 



The spring crops of peas and beans sown from Febru- 

 ary to the end of April may be succeeded by cabbages 

 sown in June, to come in early in winter or in spring. 



The ground that has been occupied by spring crops of 

 c uTots, parsneps, and onions, may be planted in October 

 with cabbages, the seed of which had been sown in the 

 beginning of August. 



The winter crop of celery may be succeeded in March 

 with autumn-sown cabbages, or with onions and carrots. 



The spring crop of early potatoes and radishes may be 

 succeeded with lettuce or early York cabbages, or with 

 turnips or spinach. The later crop of potatoes, planted 

 in April or May, may be succeeded in autumn with 

 savoys or German greens. 



A volume might be filled with similar directions ; but 

 enough may be learned from this brief notice, and from 

 what has been more fully detailed in the body of the 

 work, to guide the inexperienced till the capabilities of the 

 soil to bear a particular series of crops are discovered.
