 oblcrve; and that is, when any of the ilrong plants now 

 ihew fruit, andyou defire to faye that fruit, they fnould 

 not be cut down ; but let the leaves be tied up clofe with 

 a hay-band, a:nd then lay the earth over the roots as

Let the cauliflower plants which are in frames have 

 the 'iit^ air everyday, vvhen the weather is mild and dry, 

 by taking the glafies quite off in the morning; but let 

 the plants be covered with them ^.v^xy night. 



When the weather is extremely wet, it v/ill be proper 

 to keep the glafTes over them ; but at the fame time let 

 the glaffes be raifed to a good height', to admit a largd 

 fliare of free air to the plants. 



When dead leaves at any time appear upon the plants, 

 let them be rakenoff, and keep them perfeftly clear from 

 weeds. 



The cauliflowers v^hich are planted ur,der hand or 

 bell-glafl!es, mull be -treated as above; and if they run 

 long-lhanked, lay in fome dry earth round about their 

 Hems.

 glaffes laft month, it may Hill be done in the beginning 

 of this. See Odober.

 may ftand fingly ; then the fun and air can come at the. 

 furface of the ground to dry it, \vhich will be comfort- 

 able ta the plants, and they will thrive the better.
