 lows fix inches alunder, and four inches from one another 

 in the row, and give them fome water to fettle the earth 

 well about their roots. 



Supponhtg Plants for Seed. 



Now fupport the Hems, or ilalks, of fuch plants as were 

 planted for feed. 



The onions and leeks, in particular, will now require 

 this care ; for the ftalks of thefe plants will be run up to a 

 good height ; and if they are not fecured in due time, the 

 winds and heavy rains, will break them down.
