I<!.B. The lafl-mentioned is the bed for general ufe, 

 and is hardy. 



There are feveral other kinds of Lettuces in the Cata- 

 logue, but thofe here mentioned are chiefly to be pre- 

 ferred, whether for fallads, or for the kitchen ufe : 

 wherefore I fhall confine myfelf to their culture. 



FOR winter ufe 1 recommend the Cabbage, the Ca- 

 puchine, and Brown Dutch, to be fown the begin- 

 ning, the middle, and the end of Augujl, but not later. 

 Lettuces fown about the firfl: of Aiiguji, will cabbage by 

 November ; but the firft frofts that fet in will en- 

 tirely rot them. Thofe fown about the middle or end 

 of the month will not cabbage before the end oi March, 

 or the firfl: ten days of April. Some fow the Ice Let- 

 tuce at this feafon (I mean in Augiijl) and at the end of 

 September, tranfplant them upon a wall-border, where 

 they may be preferved, fhould the winter prove mild: 

 in April tranfplant them again, into a rich border, 

 and in ^\x weeks they will cabbage and produce fine heads. 

 From the beginning of March, and once every fortnight 

 until the end oi April, you may fow Cabbage, Silefia, Im- 

 perial, Aleppo, Ice, and the Egyptian Green Cos Let- 

 tuces. As foon as the Ice or Cos Lettuces have eight or 

 ten leaves, tranfplant them into a good rich piece of 



ground.
