out the crumbs at bottom, laying the earth that comes 

 out neatly in the fpaces between the trenches, obferving 

 to lay it equally, and fpread it as even as poffible ; and 

 then lay in the bottom of each trench Ibme gooi rot- 

 ten dung, and dig it in. 



Then get the plants ; choofe the ftrongeft, and trim 

 the ends of their roots, and the tops of the long drag- 

 ling leaves, and then plant them in one row along the 

 middle of each trench, fetting the plants five or fix 

 inches diftant in the row : immediately give fome wa- 

 ter, and let this be repeated, in dry weather, until the 

 plants have got root. 



Landing up Celery, 



Land up the crop of early celery planted out laft 

 month : break the earth fine with a hoe or fpade, and 

 trim it up neatly to both iides of the row of plants, 

 three or four inches high, repeating the earthing at this 

 time about once a wuek, to have fo ne blancked as 

 early as pofiible. 



Any tlm^ in this month is a fine feafc n to few turneps, 

 for the fervlce of autumn and winter; that is, the plants 

 railed from this fowing will be in excellent order from 

 about Michaelmas till Chrii>mas. It will be a great ad- 

 vantage if there falls fome rain, to take the opportunity 

 of fuch times to fow the feed. 



In fowing this feed, choof?' an op?n fit-iation ; dig the 

 ground, and fow the feed while it is frefh digged ; great 

 care fhould be taken not to fow it too thick ; fow it as 

 regularly as pofTible, and take the fame care in raking 

 it into the ground. 



This feed is very fmall ; two or three ounces will low 

 ground enough for a middling family : two or three ounce » 

 of feed will fow at leaft fifteen or fixteen rod or poles of 

 ground : for wnen fown in the field, the common allow- 

 ance is about a pound, or a pound and quarter, or at 

 moil a pound and a half, to an acre of ground. 



Hoe the turneps which were fown in June : do this in 

 dry weather: cut down all the Vv-eeds, and thin out the 

 plants to about feven or eight inches diilancs.
