frequently. In the middle or latter end of May they 

 will be fit to tranfplanc, which mull be into beds of rich 

 earth in the common ground. See the Work of April and 

 May. 



But if they were to be firft pricked out from the feed-bed 

 the next month, into another flight hot-bed, three or 

 four inches afunder, to have three or four weeks growth, 

 it will forward them greatly : or in default of a hot-bed 

 for this purpofe, may prick them out on a warm border 

 early in May (obferving to arch the bed over with hoops, 

 and cover them on nights and bad weather with mats) they 

 may afterwards be tranfplantcd with balls of earth to the 

 roots to where they are finally to remain. i>ee May and June, 



Solving Lcve- Apples. 



About the middle of this month is the time to fow 

 fome tomato, or love-:ipple feed ; the fru't cr apples of 

 thdb plants are, in fome families, much ufed in foups, 

 and are alfo often ufed to pickle, both when they are 

 green, and v/hen ripe. 



The fruit, when ripe, is of a beautiful red colour. 



The feed muft be fown in a flight hot-bed, treating 

 the plants as direded above for capficums. 



For the further management of them, fee the Kitchen 

 Garden for May. 



Garlick, l^c. 

 Plant garlick and fliallots ; let thefe be planted in the 

 manner mentioned in the former month ; and the fooner 

 they are planted now, the better. 



Scallions. 

 The dry onions which begin to flioot in the houfe may 

 be planted in a fmall fpot in the garden, four or five 

 inches afunder, where they will foon take root, and 

 flioot up freely, and will ferve to pull up for fcallions. 



Scorzofiera, Skirrets, and Salfafy, 

 Sow fcorzonera and falfafy where required, and alfo 

 fkirrets : let thefe feeds be fown thin on feparate beds, in 

 an open fituation, and raked in ; they may be fown any 

 time this month. 



They are to remain in the places v/here fown, obferving 

 to thin them to fix or eight inches diilance each way.
