A SUTTLEMENT to 



\ To proceed; having planted one trench, 

 with the earth that follows in the next, 

 and which you mark out with a line at 

 two or three foot wide, as you do in com- 

 mon trenching, take that mold and throw 

 over your potato's planted upon dung, as 

 is before direded ; and fo proceed from 

 trench to trench whilft you are gone quite 

 thro' your bed.

 ufe of this dung plac'd at the bottom, as

 roots grow fingle j but it has another 

 convenience, and that is the making the 

 potato's runandfpread themfelvesat juft 

 liich a determinate depth, which is no

 ing large. 



The laft thing to be done to them is in 

 April or May (for you plant them in febr. 

 or March) as you fee them begin to fpring, 

 dig the earth out of the alleys, as you do 

 your afparagus, and cover your potato- 

 bed about five or fix Inches thincr, and this 

 will give new life and vigour to the root, 

 will deprefs the green from running too

 to grow much the larger for it.
