Sowing Peas, 



Sow a principal crop of peas the beginning of this 

 month. In an open piece of ground ; may llili continue 

 fow'ing a fuccelhon of the hotfpurs, and other fmall kinds ; 

 and it is now a fine feafon to fow full crops of the large 

 forts of peas, fuch as marrowfats, rouncivals, &c. 



For the marrowfats and other large peas, draw drills 

 three feet and a half afunder; but if you intend to fet 

 flicks for thefe large kinds of peas to climb upon {qt fup- 

 port, you mull draw drills four feet afunder to fow 

 them in. 



Hotfpur, and other fmaller kinds of peas, fliould be fown 

 in drills a yard afunder ; and if yoa intend to place fticks 

 for them to run upon, allow three feet and a half diiiance 

 between the rows. 



Earthing up Beans and Peas, 



Beans and peas which are up, and advanced any confi- 

 derable height, Ihould have earth drawn up to their ftems, 

 which will llrengthen them, and proted them from froft. 

 Let this be done in a mild dry day.

The latter end of the month you may fow fcorzonera, 

 falfafy, and Hamburgh parfley. 



Thefe plants are in fome families much efteemed for 

 their roots, which are the only parts that are eaten. 



The roots run pretty deep in the ground, in the manner 

 of carrots and parfneps, and are boiled and eaten either 

 alone, or with fic.fh-meat, like young carrots, &c.

 rate fpots, either in (hallow drills fix or eight inches 

 diftance, and earthed over half an inch, or fowed on the
