PENNYROYAL. 



A medicinal herb. It is perennial. 



POTATO. 



Every body knows how to cultivate this plant. 



POTATO (sweet). 



This plant is cultivated in much the same way as the 

 last. Heat is what it chiefly wants. 



PUMPKIN. 



See cucumber. The cultivation is the same. 



RADISH. 



A great variety of sorts. Sown thin in little drills six 

 inches asurider. Sown as early as possible in the spring. 



RHUBARB. 



It comes forth, like the dock, very early in the spring. 

 When its leaves are pretty large, you cut them off close 

 to the stem, and if the plant be fine, the stalk of the 

 leaf will be from eight inches to a foot long. You peel 

 the outside skin from these stalks, and th^u cut the stalks 

 up into bits. You put these into puddings, pies, tarts, 

 just as you would green goose-berries, and green cur- 

 rants. 



SAGE 



Is, raised from seed, or from slips.
