66 The Kitchen Garden. [Feb. 



Tuvnep-rooted Radijh. 



Sow a few of the fmall turnep radifli to draw for fallads 

 ift April and May; they eat crifp, and are agreeably fla- 

 voured. Sec March and Jpril, for particulars of them. 



Spinach. 



Sow fpinach about the beginning of this month, if mild 

 weather ; let fome good ground be got ready for this feed, 

 and fow it thin and regular, and rake it in evenly. 



Spinach may be ibwn between rows of cabbages, cauli- 

 flowers, and beans, or the like, if ground be fcarce. The 

 fmooth-feeded kind is the beft to fow now ; and if defired 

 to hav-e a conftant fupply, let the fowings be repeated 

 every fortnight or three weeks. See the work of March. 



S'oivhtg and planting Lettuces. 



About the beginning of this month, if the weather ij 

 mild, you m.ay fow feveral forts of Icttuce-feeds, on warm 

 borders. The white and green cofs kind, an'd the Celicia 

 and cabbage lettuce, are proper forts to fow now ; yon 

 may alfo fow fome of the brown J^utch and Imperial let- 

 tuces, or any other forts : let the feeds be fown tolerably 

 tliick, and rake them in lightly as foon as fown. 



If the weather fhould be cold at the beginning of the 

 m.onth, you may fow cofs, or other lettuce-feeds, in a 

 frame, and cover them occafionally with glaffes or mats, 

 on nights and (harp weather ; obferving, that when of due 

 f:ze they are to be tranfplanted in the full ground. 



But, in order to have a few come in pretty forward fcr 

 tranfplanting, there may be a little green and white cofs 

 fown on a gentle hot-bed, v/hich will be ready to tranf- 

 plant a fortnight fooner than thofe in the full ground. 



The grceu cofs lettuce is the hardieft, comes in foonell 

 for ufe, and is the beft fort to fow early, 



Lettuces v/hich have ilood the winter in warm borders, 

 or in frames, Ihould, about the end of this month, be thin- 

 ned out where they ftand too clofe : let them be thinned 

 regularly, leaving them a foot dillance each way, for 

 they will require fo much room to grow to -their full iize : 

 the plants which are drawn out, fhould be planted in an 

 open fpot of rich ground,, a foot afunuer j and g^ive a lit- 

 tle water as foon as planted.
