THE farmer’s MANHALt 
When your hotspurs are up, plant, in the same 
way, early turners, nonpariels and marrowfats. Sic. 
in succession, and in this way, you may continue 
your peas until autumn. 
Cabbages. 
Select from your cellar the best of your cabbages 
with heads, and set in some secure place, to stand 
for seed; set different kinds remote from each other, 
to prevent their mixing their seed at the time of blos- 
soming. Set, at the same time, your best cabbage- 
stumps for early sallad and greens. If your ground 
is moist, set fleet ; but if it is dry, set deep ; say six 
inches or more. 
APRIL. 
Remove the covering from your strawberries, and 
hoe them lightly. 
When your early planted peas are all up, continue 
to plant marrowfats, or other rich peas, and go on to 
bush your early peas as directed before. 
Set rareripe onions ; sow late onions ; and plant, 
at the same time, beets, carrots and parsnips, for sum- 
mer’s use ; sow sallads and radishes with your on- 
ions, they will be fit for use when your hot-beds are 
done. 
Cover your asparagus-beds with rich manure, (if 
you neglected it in the fall,) dig over the surface 
lightly, and rake it until the earth is mellow. 
Set garlics, plant scarcity, or mangel wurtzcl, 
sow cabbages, turnips, radishes, <Src. Set all your 
seed roots, if you have not set them before ; such as 
ruta baga, beets, carrots, turnips, both long and flat. 
Sow sage, thyme, mint, summersavery. Sic. with spi- 
nach, parsely and ccllery. 
Plant English white potatoes, on a rich warm soil.
