Plant out Lettuce. 



Tranfplant lettuces : the cofs and Silefia, and all the 

 forts of cabbage, and brown Dutch kinds, &c. which were 

 fown iafl monthr, will now all want to be thinned and 

 tranfplanted. 



Chcofe for them a fpot of the richeft ground; dig it 

 neatiy, and let the furfare be raked even ; then putf in 

 the nUnts by line : fet them the diftance of twelve or 

 fiften inches from one another at ieafl. 



Water them as foon as planted j and, at times, till 

 they have all taken root. 



Sq-^^j Lettuce, 



Dig alfo a fpot of rich ground, and fow fome lettuce- 

 feed. Either the cofs, Sildia, or brown Dutch, are ftill 

 tiie mofl proper kinds. Sow fome of this feed in the iirll 

 or iecond week, and let fonie mere- be fown in the lall 

 week in the month. 



Thefe two fcv.'ings will ra.'fe a proper fupply of good 

 plants, to furnilh the talkie regularly all September, and 

 great part of O^ober ; and, if favourable weather, will 

 continue till November. 



BonA) Winter Spinach. 



Now ^t\. ready fome ground to fow fome winter fpinach, 



I'lie bcil fort to fow now is the prickly-feeded or tri-. 

 angular leaved fpinach ; this being much the hardiefl, 

 aud Left able to endure the cold and v/et in winter. But 

 tiiis crop mu:! not be fov/n till feme time in the Iafl fe- 

 vcn days in the month ; and even then, it is only ad- 

 vifcd. to be fown in fiich gardens where the foil is cold 

 or poor, or in cxpofed or cold fituations, that the plants 

 may get ftrength before winter. But in warm rich foils» 

 \\i firfr or fecond v»'eck in AuguH is time enough. See 

 the work of that month. 



Chcofe for this feed a clean well lying fpot, that en- 



oys the winter's fun, and let it be neatly dug; and, 



iib foon as the ground is dug, fow the feed. Do 



not fow it too thick, and immediately tread in the {tzd.^ 



and then rake the ground.
