II; +oSs Rows Whoever has attempted
Hfo eultiFate well square garden divided
ki!nto small beds and numerous walks, viii
salnlerstand and appreciate the. adyan-
kesages OF long rows that may be cultiyatsd
with the plow without worrying the horse
Esana plowman to death turning round IN
tSmall n place. To use the plow in,a gardea
sthss laid out, is to be able to cross from
Zone bed to another to the detrimeat Of
sslhea walks, or to turn about at the border
h;p.f every bed, and trample down many
SSplants without being able to run the ployS
Enearer, than ten or fifteen feetof the endsof
ssahe rows. This makes difficult plowing
E,at best. and the hoe viii be most resorted

Ia aar superior fibre to juts and has to be-
Eplanted but once, whereas iute is an an
F:nusl aud must be planted every year

ftposes of mixing with silks, linens ana a.
lssbrous cloths, ramie has no rival intextu.e,
iiisdurability and capacity to hold die-stufEs.
