by degrees, and as they are wanted for use ; but if 

 it be wished to have them grow to full size, they 

 should finally be thinned out to nine or ten inches 

 apart. 



Of sotting Radish, 

 Radish may now be sown in an open situation, 

 cither singly, or among other crops, as hinted at last 

 month ; which see. For a constant supply of young- 

 radishes, sow every ten or twelve daj^s. Observe to 

 sow the turnip-rooted kinds thinner than tlie short 

 top or salmon 5 but none should be sown very thick, 

 as tliey are in that case apt to run too nuicii to topSj 

 iand get sticky at root. 



Of soxiing small Salladbig, 

 Small salladhig, that is, chervil, cresses, and mus- 

 tard, may now be sown on an early border, either in 

 beds or in rows ; but by being sown in rows, they 

 are more easily gathered. Drill half an inch deep, 

 and six or eight inches asunder ; and sow thickly. 

 Sow every eight, ten, or twelve days, according to 

 the state of the weather, and the demand for these 

 sallads. A small bit q^ each at a time will be suffi- 

 cient, to answer an ordinary demand. A drill of 

 each kind, ten j^ards in length, will give a large sup- 

 ply, the sowings bqing repeated once a-weck.
