Plants that are grown for their leaves, as
cabbage. rhubarb, etc. should be fed with an
abundance OF heterogeneous manure. such as is
furnished by the barnyard. Plants grown for
their seeds, as peas beans, etc. are injured
by this class Of manures, which causes them
to run too much to vine. They should be
supplied with mineral manures, such as wood
ashes, bone dust. etc.
In trimming Off branches they should be

shall disHgure the tree, also that the bark
may readily grow over.
