PART V. CULINARY GARDENING. 271 



carrots, parsnips, potatoes, onions, brocoli, and several others, 

 which will grow perfectly well in the field, and with the same 

 or similar culture as the turnip or potatoe husbandry. In all 

 well regulated home or family farms there is every year a cer- 

 tain portion of ground allotted for turnips, potatoes, or other 

 drill crops; now that allotment has only to be increased, and 

 part of it used for the culture of these garden vegetables. 

 When they were full grown, or when the turnips were to be 

 eaten off by sheep, or otherwise removed from the rest of 

 the field, that part of it under this culture could easily be 

 inclosed by hurdles, which would preserve every thing safe 

 during the winter. In spring it would no longer be neces- 

 sary, and then the hurdles or temporary fence might be 

 taken away, and the ground ploughed and sown with oats 

 or barley, and grass seeds, &c. according to the nature of the 

 rotation followed by the farmer.
