Aug.] The Kitchen Garden. 387 



Tkefe plants are to remain in this bed, until the latter 

 end of February, or beginning of March^ then to be 

 tranfplanted into the quarters of the kitchin garden at 

 about thirty inches, or three feet, diftance each way, from 

 one another. 



Or for want -of frames or any fort of garden glaflTes 

 we often preferve cauliflower plants through the winter, 

 in a bed of common earth, and covered it occafionally 

 only with garden mats ; the' bed being in a warm fitua- 

 tion, andarchedover with hoops, and covered with mats 

 in bad weather; fuch as in time of hard rains, frofty or 

 fnowy weather. 



And may alfo often preferve thefe plants over win- 

 ter, by planting them ciofe under a warm wall, pricking 

 them three or four inches afunder, and planted out finally 

 in the fpring. 



But thefe two methods are only to bepradifed by per- 

 fons who have not better conveniencies ; but thofe in 

 poflefTion of frames and glafTes, ihould always take the 

 advantage of them, to preferve their plants through the 

 -winter. 



Afparagm^ 



Let the plantations of afparagus be well cleared, and 

 kept at this time perfectly free from weeds ; in particular 

 that which was planted in beds laft March or April. 



Alfo let the feedling afparagus, which was fown in the 

 fpring be kept very clean; and this mull be done by a 

 very careful hand-weeding. 



Tran/platit Celery, 



Tranfplant more celery. Let an open fpot be chofeh; 

 -mark out the trenches, and prepare them in the manner 

 directed laft month. Get the plants, cut off the tops of 

 their leaves, trim the ends of their roots, and then plant 

 one row in each trench. 



Obferve to fet the plants four or five inches diftant in 

 the row. 



Immediately after they are planted, let them be water- 

 ed ; and, if the weather ihould prove dry, the waterings 

 muft be repeated duly every other evening until the plants 

 h.ive taken root.
