border, to fow Tome upright celery-feed in, for an early 

 crop. 



Break the earth very fine, and either fow the feed on 

 the rough farface, and rake it in lightly, or firll rake 

 the furface fmocth ; fow the feed thereon, and cover it 

 with light earth, fifted over near a quarter of an inch 

 deep ; or the ground being formed into a three or four 

 feet wide bed, and the furface raked, then with the 

 back of the rake trim the earth evenly oit the furface a 

 quarter of an inch deep, into the alley ; fow the feed 

 on the bed, and with the rake draw the earth over it 

 evenly; and lightly trim the furface fmooth. — But 

 thofe whodefire to have the plants come in pretty forward, 

 fliould fow the feed in a itight hot-bed, under a frame 

 and lights, or hand-glaffes ; or in default of thefe, cover 

 on nights and bad weather with mats, being careful in 

 either method when the plants com.e up, to admit them 

 the free air every mild day. — The plants for this fowing 

 come in for ufe in July. 



There ihould not be many of thefe early fown plants 

 planted out, but only juft a few to come in before the ge- 

 neral crop ; for they will foon pipe in the heart, and run 

 up for feed. 



Radijhes. 



Dig a warm border, the beginning of this month, to fow 

 fome radifh-feed in. Let fome of the ihort-topped radilli- 

 feed be fown now, to fucceed thofe of the fame fort that 

 were fown lail: month. Dig another piece at the fame 

 time, and fow it with falmon radilh-feed ; they will fuc- 

 ceed the fhort tops. About a fortnight or three weeks 

 after, let fome more of both forts be fown, that there may 

 be a regular fupply of thefe roots in their proper feafon. 



Let them all generally be fowed broad-call on the rough 

 furface, and if light dry ground, tread them down evenly, 

 and rake them in with an even hand. 



You may fow among the radilh a fprinkling of fpinach 

 and lettuce-feed ; the fpinach will come in after the radilh, 

 and the lettuce after the fpinach. 



If early radiihes are required as foon as polTible, let 

 fome dwarf Ihort-tops be fowed in a llendcr hot-bed, in 

 the manner direfted lail month.
