when intended to fave feed of the falmon radilh, although 

 thefe be naturally of a pale red, yet to prefer, e the forts, 

 it will be proper to plant the paleil coloured roots. 



The principal reafon why we dired radiihes intended 

 for feed to be tranfplanted is, that we can readily judge of 

 the goodnefs of the root, take only what are of the right 

 fort, and rejeft fuch as are not. 



Plant them by dibble in rows in an open fpot : the rows 

 muft be two or three feet afurider, and the plants mull be 

 fet about two feet from one another in the row ; let them 

 be well watered as foon as they are planted, to fettle the 

 earth properly about them. They will HiOOt up ftrong 

 ftalks and ripen feed in September. 

 Prick Dut-Celtry. 



Prick out from the feed-bed fome of the celery plants 

 which were fown in Maich. 



Dig for this purpofe a bed of light rich earth, about 

 forty inches broad ; then draw out of the feed-bed fome cf 

 the beft plants, prick them in this, three inches afunder 

 in the row, and the rows five or fix inches diftance ; give 

 them feme water, and fhade them from the fun till they 

 have taken root. 



The plants are to remain in this bed a month or five 



or fix weeks : by which time they will have gotten ftrengrh, 



and then let a quantity of the llrongeftbe tranfplanted into 



^ the trenches where they are to remain to blanch. See 



June and July> 



Solving Celery. 



Sow celery-feed for a latter crop ; this fhould be done 

 in the firft or fecond week of the month. 



Dig a fmall bed of light rich earth, and lay the furface 

 perfedly level ; then fow the feeds pretty thick, and rake 

 them in as light as poflible with a very even hand. 



In hot funny weather, fhade the bed from the fun every 

 day, from ten to three o'clock, till the plants appear ; for 

 this feed being very fmall, the full fun would, in a manner, 

 quite burnt it up. 



Likewife, let the bed, in dry weather, be refreflied every 

 other evening with a very moderate watering. 



The plants from this fowing will be fit to plant out into 

 trenches, in Auguft and September, and to take up for the 

 table after Chriftmas, and for a fpriog fupply.
