S7;:al/ Sallading. 



Sow crefTes, muftard, radifh, rape, and other fmall 

 falkd feeds often. 



Where a Cohflant fupply of thefe fmall herbs are want- 

 ed, there fnould be fome feed of each fort put into the 

 ground, once every fix or feven days. 



Obferve, if the weather proves hot and dry, it is pro- 

 per to fow thefe feeds now on a fomewhat Ihady border. 

 Dravy ihallow drills, and fow the feeds therein tolerably 

 thick, and cover them lightly with earth. In dry wea- 

 ther give them a moderate watering every other day. 



Spinach, 



Spinach may yet be fjwn, and it will fuoc^ed tolerably 

 well, if fowed in an open fituation. 



In fome places this plant is required all fummer ; where 

 this is the cafe, there fnould be fome feed fown every 

 twelve or fourteen days. Sow it moderately thin, tread it 

 well down, and rake it eve.Ti\y into the ground. 



Hoc and thin the fpinach which v/as fown the former 

 month. Cut down all the weeds, and leave the plants 

 ^bout four or five inches afunder. 



Sow more turneps, they will come in at a fine feafon ; 

 that is, they will be fit to draw for the table by the mid- 

 <ilc or latter end of July; but will be in excellent order 

 by the beginning of Auguft, and will continue good a 

 long time. 



This feed muft not be fown in dry hot weather; for if 

 it is, all the labour will be loll ; but when the weather is 

 ihowery, or there is a fair profpeft of its being' fo, then 

 is the right time to fow this fmall {ttd.. 



Sow it in open fpot of light ground ; do not fpare feed, 

 in moderation, but fow it as equally as poflible ; tread it 

 ^\'Q\\\y down, and rake in with the fame care. 



Hoe and thin the turneps v»'hich were fown the former 

 month ; cut up all the weeds, and thin the plants regular- 

 ly, allowing izwtw or eight inches between plant and 

 plant. 



This . work of thinning ihould always be performed, 

 when the rough leaves are about the breadth of a man's 

 thumb.
