The Toor, Tot a , or Nat' Ragy, is not the same with that cultivated Garden 
on dry grounds, although in the sense adopted by botanists it is 
not 'specifically different; but the seed which is raised on dry-field 
will not thrive in gardens; nor will that which is raised in gardens 
thrive without irrigation. Garden Ilctgy is always transplanted, 
and hence it is called Natl For the seedling bed, dig the ground 
in Paushya (17th December — 14th January), and give it a little 
dung. Divide it into squares, and let it have some more manure. 
Then sow the seed very thick ; cover it with dung, and give it 
water, which must be repeated once in three days. The ground, 
into which it is to, be transplanted, is in Paushya ploughed five 
times ; and must be dunged and divided into squares with proper 
channels, like a poppy garden. About the beginning of Mdgha , or 
end of January, water the seedli ngs well, and pull them up by the 
roots: tie them in bundles, and put them in water. Then reduce to 
mud the ground into which they are to be transplanted, and place the 
young Ragy in it, with four inches distance between each plant. 
Next day water, and every third day for a month this must be re- 
peated. Then weed with a small hoe, and water once in four 
days. It ripens in three months from the time when the seed was 
sown; and in a middling crop produces twenty fold. It is only 
sown on the ground at times when no other crop could be pro- 
cured, as the expense of cultivation nearly equals the value of the 
crop.
