 To have seed, take one plant in spring, out of the ridge

Is very good in salads along with lettuces, white mus-

 the salad-season, should be sown every six days. This 

 salad, as well as the mustard and the rape, may be very 

 conveniently raised in a corner of a hot-bed made for 

 radishes or cabbage-plants.
