Sow alfo fome of the fmall white Italian turnep-rooted 

 radifh to come in next month, when they will make a 

 pretty variety at table, and eat very agreeable in fallads, 

 jpr alone. See the fpxing months. 



So<wing Caulijlo'wer Seed, 



Cauliflower feed (hould be fown towards the latter end 

 of this month, to raife fome plants to -produce the early 

 an dgeneral crop next fummer. 



The proper time to fow the feed is fome time between 

 the eighteenth and twenty-rfounk of the month; and it 

 muft not be fown fooner than that time, otherwife the 

 plants will be apt to button (as it is called) or flower, in 

 winter, or early in the fpring, in their infant .ftate ; 

 which flowers never exceed the fize of an ordinary button, 

 and thereby you are difappointed of having an early crop, 

 at the due feafon ; or if fowed late, the plants will not 

 acquire a proper growth to refill the winter's froft ; there- 

 fore mark the above time : but the London gardeners, 

 who raife prodigous quantities for public fupply., gene- 

 rally fow their main crop on a particular day> (the 21ft 

 •of this month,) having from long experience proved that 

 to be the mofl: eligible period of fowing this crop of 

 •cauliflowers, for next fummer's general fupply, 



But in order to have a more certain crop and regular 

 •fupply of cauliflowers, it will be proper to fow fome feed 

 •^at two different times this month. 



The 6rft and main fowing mufl: be at the time above 

 mentioned ; -and -the general nule is to allow the difl:ance 

 of three or four days or a week, between the firll and 

 jecond fowing. 



Theiirft fown plants are principally for the earlieft and 

 firfl: general crop, and a quantity of which Ihould be 

 planted out for good, in the latter end of October, under 

 i)ell or hand-glafles. Some of the fame plants may alfo, 

 at that time be pricked thick in garden frames, to be de- 

 fended occafionally all winter with glaflTes, for final 

 tranfplantation in the fpring ; or in want of frames, &c. 

 a parcel may be planted under a fouth wall, and there re- 

 main, without any other flielter, during the winter. 

 They will fometimes (land it tolerably well ; but, if you 

 choofe it, you may alfo at that time plant a parcel of the 

 firfl ibwn plants in a Ixd or border, and arch it over with 



hoops,
