trenches, not above two inches, or two inches and a half in depth, not more than fourteen or fifteen inches 
asunder. In the bottom of tliese, at any season of the year, strew the seeds pretty thick, and immediately 
cover them. As the plants shoot, they should be frequently weeded, and kept constantly clean, until they 
spread sufficiently to cover the ground. Those who cultivate great quantities, only strew the seeds prettv 
thick m little shallow pits, hoed iij) irregularly, but generally within four, five, or six inches of one anotlier 
and covered as before Plants raised in this manner, are observed to answer as well, or rather better, than the 
others ; but they require more care in the weeding. They grow to full perfection in two or three mo'nths and 
are observed to answer best when cut in full blossom. The plants are cut with reaping hooks, a few inches 
above the root, tied in loads, carried to the works, and laid by strata in the steeper. Seventeen negroes are 
sufficient to manage twenty acres of indigo ; and one acre oi rich land, well planted, will, with good seasons 
and proper management, yield five hundred pounds of indigo in twelve months, for the plant ratoons (i e it 
sends out stolones), and gives four or five crops a year ; but must be replanted afterwards. 
Indigo has long been cultivated in Spain, but is on the decline in that country, owing to the more favorable 
circumstances of the East and West Indies. It was tried in the south of France and Italy during the 
Buonaparte dynasty, but found not worth foUowi ng for the same reason. 
1590. Tephrosia. From rsipgo?, ash-colored, in allusion to the color of the foliage. T. toxicaria is a spreading 
shrubby plant. The leaves and branches, well pounded, and thrown into a river or pond, very soon affect the 
water, and intoxicate the fish, so as to make them float on the surface, as if dead ; most of the larsje ones 
recover after a short time, but the greatest part of the small fry perish on these occasions. It has been intro- 
duced to Jamaica, and cultivated there, on account of its intoxicating qualities. [Browne) 
1591. Galega. A name of unexplained meaning. Ruellius says, it is the word Glaux, Italianized! G. 
officinalis was formerly accounted cordial and sudorific, but is now out of repute. The species are handsome 
border flowers.
