SALLADS. 



Of souing Lettuce. 



Lettuce may be sown by the middle, or towards 

 the latter end of the month, if the weather be mild 

 and dry. An early warm spot is to be chosen, and 

 a rich liirht soil. The kinds fittest for this sowino; 

 are the brown Dutch, hardy green, white coss, and 

 green coss. Sow rather thickly, in order to afford 

 plants for transplanting in March. Cover lightly, 

 and rake all in smooth and neatly. Do not tread 

 or beat in the seeds. 



Lettuce may be sown and treated in every re- 

 spect as directed above for carrot, either on a hot- 

 bed, or on a border in front of a pinery or other 

 forcing-house. It may either be sow^n along with 

 the carrot thinly, or by itself for a full crop ; 

 among which might be sown a sprinkling of short- 

 top radish. 



Of soxchig Radish, 



Short-top and salmon radish may be sown at the 

 beginning, and also these, and the red and white 

 turnip-rooted kinds at the end of tlie month. Any 

 dry, lightish, and tolerably warm situation, will an- 

 swer. They may either be sown by themselves, 

 thickly, or among lettuce, onions, or spinage, thinly. 



Radishes may also be sown on a hot-bed, &c. as 

 noticed above, along with carrot or lettuce, but 

 bhould be sown thinly, that the carrot or lettuce 

 may not be too much drawn by them.
