THE PRACTICAL GARDENER. 



A variety of circumstances, however, conspire to prevent its 

 being so effectually accomplished in the garden as in the farm ; 

 such as the smallness of the portions of ground generally 

 allotted to this use ; the vast number of articles which are to be 

 grown, and their great similarity and relation to each other. 

 The following classification may be considered the most proper : 



Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and savoys ; 

 Common beans, French beans, and peas ; 

 Can'ots, beets, and parsnips ; 



Turnips, early potatoes, onions, leeks, eschalots, &c. ; 

 Celery, endive, lettuce, &c. &c. 



It is found in practice that celery constitutes an excellent pre- 

 paration for asparagus, onions, and cauliflowers. 



Turnips or potatoes arc a good preparation for cabbages or 

 greens. 



Broccoli or cabbages are a proper preparation for beans or 

 peas. 



Cauliflowers prepai*e well for onions, leeks, or turnips. 

 Old asparagus land affords a good preparation for potatoes 

 or carrots. 



The strawberry, currant, gooseberry, and raspberry, for the 

 same. 



Turnips give a suitable preparation for celery or endive ; and 

 )eas, when well manured, are a good preparation for spi- 

 lach, &c. 



By properly attending to all these diflerent points of manage- 

 nent, crops of almost all descriptions may be put into the soil, 

 o as to succeed with much greater certainty, and in a much 



more perfect manner, than is usual in the ordinary methods of 



putting them into the ground.
