MARCH. 



TURNIP ROOTED RADISHES. 



Sow white and red turnip-rooted radish seed, sepa- 

 rately, in Hght ground, and rake the seed in evenly. 

 Thin the plants to five or six inches apart, as soon as 

 they have leaves f\?n inch broad. 



CARROTS AND PARSNIPS. 



Sow a principal crop this month on light ground in 

 an open situation ; dig the ground deep, and break it 

 well, else the roots will be deformed ; the seed must 

 be sown thinly and evenly, trodden in regularly, and 

 then well raked ; if you have not light ground, do not 

 tread in the seed ; only rake it in, or sow in shallow 

 drills twelve inches asunder, to facilitate weeding.

 crop may without the least injury to the asparagus, 

 be sowed all over the beds ; the early short top is the 

 proper kind to sow at this season. 



ONIONS AND LEEKS. 



This is the proper time to sow onions and leeks. Soxj^ 

 them in drills, on rich ground, not wet or stubborn, that 

 has had good rotten dung into it, a spade deep ; divide 

 the ground into beds, with alleys between, for tlie^ 

 convenience of raking and weeding. Sow the seed when 

 the ground will rake readily, i. e. fall asunder easily 

 under the rake ; if the earth is very light, tread in the 

 seed before you rake the beds. 



SPINACH. 



Sow spinach twice this month for a succession of 

 crops ; prefer the round leafed, smooth seeded kind. It is
