About Ml&fttntmr fow the early Peafe , to be ripe 

 fix weeks after M'chaelmujJ'c. 



Noce chit our Gardiners , though there be fomc 

 peril!, chufe to fow early, becauie they have much 

 advantage by all forts or forward commodities ; fo 

 Turnips lowed early, many run to feed , yet one 

 good then 3 is worth three at another feafon. The 

 fame maybe faid of Peafe and Garrets, which by 

 cold are fpoyled many times ; yet it is obferved by 

 feme , that oftentimes , Whether by difference of 

 ground, or other accident, the Bean latter fowed 

 wil overtake the former , and fo in fome forts of 

 Peafe. 



Many feeds are beft fowen about Juguft , fo Tur- 

 nips , and the black Radifh , for a peculiar reafon ; 

 which is,' being fowen fooner* they are apt to run up 

 to feed before Winter y and not to HI the root at all. 

 Onions for winter provifion, Lettice and Corn-fallec 

 fo: the fame occaiion ; Spiitage too , alvyaies upon 

 that account, though otherwife they maybe fowen 

 with the firft- Nay , our Gardiners here in Ox- 

 ford fow Turnips in April y and fo forward till the 

 Winter. 



Cabbage plants are fowed commonly about Au~ 

 guft ; and the firft Coleflowers, that they may before 

 Winter be fo grown , as to be tranfplanted at greater 

 diftance , fo to abide till the Spring. I have known 

 fome, when froft has fpoyl'd the winter Cabbage- 

 plants , to have furnifhed themfelves from plants, rai- 

 led in the Spring upon a hot bed. 



Many feeds muft be gathered a little before they 

 are throughly ripe with the ftalkes on which they 

 grow ; for fhould it abide until the full maturitie in 

 che Garden , by wind and weather great part of the 



feed
