that trequenl hoeing, is both rain and manure to your 
plants, especially in dry weather, if done in the morn- 
ing. Cut your sage, mint, <Sic. when they be^n to 
flower, and spread to dry in an airy place, riant 
out your cabbages, cauliflowers, broccoli, &c. in 
moist, or cloudy weather, but not when the ground is 
wet and heavy. Thin out ^our beets, carrots and 
parsnips, and fill up such rows as may be vacant. 
Transplant your ruta baga into long rows of 4 feet 
asunder, and 12 inches distance in the rows, and ma- 
nure the rows with rich manure, or live ashes, or plas- 
ter of Paris. Continue to gather herbs when in full 
bloom, and dry as before.

from both sides of the tops of the trenches, until they 
are even with the surface of the earth, then continue
