Rake the surface even. and bring all the
small stones into the alleys, for removal in
the wheclbarrow. In dry season, water
may be frequently applied with advantage.
by an occasional use Of the hoe. you will
prevent the admission Of weeds, which, in
addition to their unsiehtly appearance, are
Of decided injury to the roots. Keep the
clgcs OF the bed trimmed even and never
tNad upon it, US its narrow width renders
that unnecessary. For econom, Of room, =
few cabbascs may be grown in the alleys;
