A TREATISE ON THE 



sheep manure, taking the utmost care, when forking it in the 

 border, not to break the roots ; at the same time placing the fresh 

 manure as near, or even amongst them, as is consistent with safety. 

 Slightly cover it over with the forkings of the border, and in this 

 state allow it to remain until the time arrives for forcing, when 

 the directions previously given for covering with leaves, &c., 

 must be resorted to.
