Turticp -rooted Radijh, 



Now 15 the very beft time in the whole year, to few 

 the large turnep-rooted radiih. 



There are two forts, one black, and the other white, 

 and are generally known by the name of the black or 

 white Spanifh radilli. 



The black fort is in moil efteem, grows as large as or- 

 dinary turneps, and very hardy to lland the winter ; ' 

 they are by many people much admired for autumn and 

 winter, to flice in failads, or to eat alone, raw : the feed 

 of both forts may be fowcd any time this month ; but 

 the inoil proper time is between the tenth and twenty- 

 fourth for t)ia full crop ; they fhould be fowed in an open 

 fpace of freih- digged ground, broad call, and trod down, 

 and raked in regularly. 



When the plants have been come up fome time, they 

 mull be hoed out to about fix or eight inches dillance ; 

 they will then have proper room to fvvell, and will be 

 ready to draw for the table ab )Ut Michaelmas, and will

 fuch weather may be taken up, and preferved in fand.

 fowed in an open expofure, in new-digged ground, and 

 raked in equally.

This is now the time to fow cole-worts. Thefe plants 

 will ferve the family well, in autumn, winter, and 

 the fpring, when the favoys and fuch like greens are all 

 con fumed. 



What is to be underllood by cole-worts is any fort of 

 cabbage plants ; which, when their leaves are from about 

 as broad as a man's hand till they begin to cabbage, are 

 moll defirable open greens, to ufe under the- name of
