204 ON ASPARAGUS; 



treat on thefe fubjech, to mention only the 

 foil that fuch and fuch plants will grow 

 the beft in, and that in fuch a manner as 

 to leave their readers to think that they 

 will not grow at all in any other kind of 

 foil, which often difcourages people from 

 {owing or planting many different kinds of 

 roots, fhrubs, and trees, in foils where, 

 though they do not attain to the greater! 

 perfection, they may become very ufeful, 

 profitable and ornamental, and fome- 

 times to as great perfection as they do iii 

 that foil which was thought peculiar to 

 them, 



ASPARAGUS will thrive in all light, rich, 

 deep foils, and all fandy foils may be made 

 rich with rotten dung, fo as to produce 

 very good afparagus ; and in every place 

 it is planted in, if it is not light and rich 

 by nature, it mull be made fo by art ; fa 

 that there is no place in England but 

 where good afparagus may be had, and at 

 no great expence, as there are few places 

 but where the proper materials may be 



had
