fhou'd be thinned, leaving them three or four inches afun- 

 der, or thereabouts. Take good care to leave the ftrongeil 

 plants. 



This work may either be performed by hand, or with 

 the fmall hoe j the latter is the quickeil method, and by 

 IVirring the ground with the hoe, it is of great fervice to 

 the growth of the plants. Obferving to thin them out to 

 about four inches diilance, not leaving any two plants 

 clofe together. 



But where a fupply of young onions are wanted for 

 thinning out by degrees tor fallads, or other ufes, there 

 lliould be a crop fet apart, and referred unthinned for 

 that purpofe; but obferving to thin them regularly as you 

 drav»' them for ufe, leaving the fnoil prominng plants to 

 Hand to bulb. . 



Hamburgh ParJIeyy Scozofieray and Sa^fnjy. 



The Hamburgh or large-rooted parfiey, fcorzonern, 

 and falfafy, mull now be carefuliy cleaned ; and the 

 plants fliould be thinned, or hoed out, to prgper diilances, 

 that their roofs may have room to fwell, . Leave thefe 

 plants about iix or feven inches diftance from one ano- 

 tiier. 



- The feeds of fcorzonera and falfafy fhould now be fosvn 

 for the winter crop. Sow them in tlie firll or fecond week 

 of this month, in an open fpci of ground, each fort fepa- 

 rate, and rake thejis in. 



■Thefe plant?, when fown early, are apt to run up for 

 feed, before they are hardly lit for ule. But thofe that 

 are ibwn now will not run, and their roots will be in ex- 

 cellent order for the table by Michaelmas, and continue 

 good till fpring following. 



Sa-voys and Cabbages. 



Tranfplant cabbage and Savoy plants for autumn and 

 wipter ufe. 



Thefe may be planted between rows of early cauli- 

 flowers, or between v/ide rows of garden beans, or French 

 beans ; that is, if there be no other ground at liberty. 



But where there is ground to fpare, and clear of other 

 crops, it will be the bell method to plant out t-hefe kind 

 of plants into an open fpot by themfelves. Plant them out, 

 jjTpoffible, in moilt weather, in rows two a feet and a half 



afundcr.
