Of planting Garlick and Rocambole. 

 Now plant a full crop of these roots. Dig the 

 land deep, and break it fine, if ariywise stiff. An4

Of planting Horse-RadisJi. 



About the latter end of the month is a fit time to

 plished ; as next month may be said to be the bu- 

 siest in the whole year with the gardener. Any 

 soil, especially if light, will answer. Dig deep, and 

 plant the sets in the furrows, by line, as you go on ; 

 eighteen inches between, and six in line. Place tlie 

 sets upright, and keep their crowns just above ground. 

 If they be three inches in length, it is sufficient ; 

 and it is immaterial how much longer they be. If 

 such sets as these cannot be procured, cuttings of the 

 Toots, without crowns, may be planted, and will sue?

 They may be cut into pieces of three or four inches 

 in length, and may either be planted as above (but 

 entirely within ground), or with the setting-stick.

 in between the lines, which would come off i^i time, 

 and without injuring the crop.
