 Pickling, exadly between the two 

 Rows of Cauliflowers, at three 

 Foot Diftance from each other i 

 and between the Rows of Cauli- 

 flowers and the Artichokes, plant a 

 Row of Cabbages or Savoys for 

 Winter Ujfe, which, when the Cau- 

 liflowers are drawn off, and the 

 Artichokes gather'd, will have full 

 Liberty to grow ; and by this 

 means the Ground is fully employ'd 

 thro* the whole Seafbn. 



In thofe which are planted at 

 five Foot Diftance Row from Row, 

 you may plant in every other Row, 

 a Line of Cabbages or Savoys, for 

 Winter Ufe, which will be gone 

 by the Time of landing them up ; 

 in the doing of which, you muft 

 lay the whole five Foot of Earth 

 into one Ridge, except the Ground 

 be extreme ftiff, or the Plants young, 

 in both which Cafes you may lay 

 only three Feet and a half^ the 

 fame Com pals of Ground muft alio 

 be allow'tl where they are planted 

 at a wider Diftance, 



And, if in the Spring, you find 

 your Stocks fhoot very weak, 

 which may havTc been occalion'd 

 ■either by hard Frofts, or too much 

 Wet, you muft then uncover them, 

 and with your Spade looien and 

 break the Earth about them, raifing 

 a fmall Hill about every Stock, level- 

 ling the reft between the Rows, 

 which will greatly help ihem, and 

 in three Weeks time after they are 

 commonly fit to flip.
