fvvelling freely, and will prevent their growing hot and 

 Iticky. 



Turnep-rocted Radijhes, 



Where the white turnep-rooted, or fmall round radifhes 

 are required, feme feed may Itill be fown any time this 

 month. 



They fhould be fown in an open moifl fpot ; and when 

 the leaves of the plants are about an inch broad, they 

 Ihould be thinned to five or fix inches diftance. 



But as to the large Spanifh turnep-rooted radifhes, both 

 black and white forts, the principal feafon for fowing them 

 is in July; and thofe from that fowing will be fit to draw 

 in September and Odlober, when they will eat very mild. 



Spinach. 



Sow fpinach where required ; it will yet fucceed, and 

 may be fown any time this month. 



Where a conttant fupply of this plant is required, yoa 

 Ihould fow fome feed once a fortnight at leall ; obferving 

 the round-leaved fpinach is Hill the proper fort to fow 

 now, which may be fowed either broad-caft and raked in,, 

 or in fhallow drills. 



Hoe the fpinach which was fown the farmer month, and 

 thin the plants out to four or five inches dillance. 



Kidney- B sans. 



Plant kidney-beans, of the early kinds, the beginning 

 of this month. 



Choofe a piece of dry ground for them, where it is de- 

 fended from cold winds, aud open to the fun; draw drills 

 an inch deep, and thirty inches afunder ; drop the beans 

 in the drills two inches apart, and draw the earth equally 

 over them; do not cover them more than an inch deep; 

 for, if covered too deep at this early time, they do not 

 come up well, but rife ftraggling-, and befides they are 

 very apt to rot. 



Thefe fiiould be planted in dry weather, for the {tt^L 

 cannot bear much wet; it being apt to rot in the ground, 

 if planted in a rainy time. 



About the middle o/ twentieth of this month, you may 

 plant fome kidney-beans for a principal crop^ 



The fpeckled dwarf kidney-bean, and theBatterfea and 



Canterbury dwarfs are proper kinds for this plantation »-
