General Directions. — Close the general 
winter cropping, gather in and dry herbs and 
seeds of all kinds, also onions, shalots, and 
such like. Hoe and earth up the growing 
c-ops, and apply clear liquid manure often : 
still clear, dig, or trench every empty space, 
and let it be occupied by some useful 
vegetable different in constitution from that 
which grew there before, by which means, 
none of the ground need be left " fallow," or, 
in other words, wasted. 
Balm maybe readily increased by division of 
the roots ; it grows in any common garden soil. 
Borecole. — A little seed may now be sown, 
for very late planting ; plant out ; hoe 
amongst the previous planting. 
Brocoli. — Plant out such as the Tartarian 
(late), which will come in next May; also from 
the other late sorts : give them a fresh, rich, 
and loamy soil, or dig deep and dung well : 
prepare for another planting early next month . 
Cabbages. — Sow for the principal spring 
crops, the second week, in an open situation ; 
and 
suc- 
if very dry weather prevails the seed beds 
may be watered : each sort should be sown 
distinct, and labelled accordingly. Plant out 
a few more any time this month in a rich soil, 
for coleworts. 
Carrots. — To obtain them young, and early 
in spring, sow this month in a deep, open, 
and rich soil ; choose a calm day for sowing, 
as the seeds are very light ; put them in rows 
a foot apart. 
Cauliflower. — Sow now for the early sum- 
mer crop ; some are particular to a day, and 
prefer the 24th : give it a good situation and 
a bed of rich light earth. Attend to the 
advancing crops in cutting, clearing, 
hoeing in time. 
Celery. — Continue to plant out for 
cession : earth up those which require it, 
observing to keep the earth from the heart, 
and not to do it too often. Waterings with 
liquid manure will now be beneficial, but do 
not saturate the soil. 
Coleworts. — Plant out the strongest from 
the early cabbage beds, at a distance of four- 
teen inches each way. 
Cress. — Sow twice, or oftener, this month, 
in a shady situation. 
Endive. — Sow the first week for a late win- 
ter crop : plant out those sown last month, and 
hoe between those planted early ; give all a 
good situation and a rich open soil. 
Herbs of all sorts should be cut on a dry 
day, and hung up in small bundles, or spread 
out in an airy place to dry. To secure them 
in the best state, cut them when the flowers 
begin to open.
