THIS is to cover the feed-beds after they 

 are fown ; for taking the mould out of the 

 alleys to cover the beds (as is the common 

 method) is not right ; for it is fo trod in 

 fowing the feeds, that it is difficult to 

 break it to cover the feed ; befides it makes 

 the alleys fo deep that the fides of the beds 

 moulder down, and many of the trees are 

 loft, at leaft they ftand fo dry that they 

 make no progrefs. 



THE beds being ready, they mould be 

 fown with the prepared feeds the middle 

 of April, as they are the propereft, being 

 forwarded in their growth by being vege- 

 tated before they are fown, fo will be fine 

 plants in autumn, when they are to be 

 planted in the fields where they are to re- 

 main. 



THE feeds may be brought in the boxes 

 or pots they were laid in. The fmall 

 feeds may be fown all over the beds, com- 

 pofition and feeds .together, but not too 

 thick, and covered half an inch with the 



mould
