weeds ; and when the plants have got their rough 

 leaves, thin them out to three or four inches apart. 



SALLADS. 



Continue successional sowings and plantations of 

 all sorts of sallads, according to their kinds, and as 

 directed in the former months, till August. A re- 

 petition of directions, in the summer months, would 

 be all to one and the same effect, without variety. 

 In August, I shall resume directions for the culture 

 of sallads, for winter and next spring use« 



HERBS. 



If any of those enumerated last month, be still 

 unsown or unplanted, let it now be done as soon as 

 may be convenient. All, or any of them, will suc- 

 ceed very well, if got into the ground in the course 

 of the month. Presuming that the directions al- 

 ready given on this head (see March), may suffice, 

 both for these and for medicinal herbs, it will not be 

 necessary to repeat them. I shall, hov>'ever, at the 

 proper seasons, notice the methods of gatherijig and 

 drying such of the kinds as should be preserved for 

 jvinter use j of which see July and iVugust.
