Broccoli. 



Prepare fome ground in the beginning of this month to 

 plant out a fucceffional crop of broccoli for next fpring 

 Aipply. An open fpot, not fhaded by trees, fhould be 

 chofen ; and fpread fome thorough rotten dung over the 

 piece, and digit in, and this will be an advantage to the 

 plants, 



Thefe plants are now to beplanted in rows two feet 

 afunder; and allow twenty inches dillance between plant 

 and plant in the row, and give each plant a little water, 

 repeating it two or three times in dry weather to forward 

 their rooting that they may acquire a large growth before 

 winter, and they will produce fine large heads next fpring. 



Draw the earth about the flems of tlie broccoli which 

 were planted out lad month ; for this will llrengthen the 

 plants, and promote theirgrowth. 



Swvoys, 



Tranfplant favoys. Plant them In rov/s two feet afun- 

 der, and fet the plants the fame diftance from one another 

 in the row. This plantation will come in at a good 

 time; will be handfomely cabbaged in November, De- 

 cember, &c. and the plants will continue in excellent 

 order to fupply the table till after Chriftmas. 



Solving Onions-. 



Get ready fome ground, where it was not done lafl 

 month, to fow a good crop of fpring onions. 



This being the moil eligible feafcn to fow the general 

 crop for fpring fervice, and for early heading fummer 

 onions ; but it mull be done in the firft, but at farthefl 

 the fecoad week in the month ; and for that purpofe 

 choofe a clean dry-lying fpot ; and vvhen the ground is 

 ■dug, mark out beds three feet and a half or four feet 

 broad ; then fow the feed tolerable thick, but as equal as 

 can be ; then tread it in, and rake the ground even, 

 that the {<^td may be equally covered, and the plants rife 

 regularly in every part of the bed.
