Sfibtlier Hot-bed to prick them- in- 

 to, which may be about two Inches 

 iquarej and in April harden them 

 hy Degrees, to fit them tor trans- 

 planting, which Ihould' be done a- 

 bout the latter End of that Month 

 at the Diftances diredied for the 

 fecond Crop, and muft be manag'd 

 accordingly : T hefe (if the Soil is 

 liioift where they are planted^ or 

 the Seafon cool and moift) will 

 produce good Collifiovoers about a 

 Montii after the iecond Crop is 

 gone, whereby their Seaibn will be 

 greatly prolong'd. 



There is alio a fourth Crop of 

 Colliflowers, v/hichis raised by low- 

 ing the Seed about the twelfth of 

 May j and being tranfplanted, as 

 hath been before directed, will 

 produce good Cdlifiowers in a kind- 

 ly Seafon, and good Soil after Mi- 

 chuelmas, and continue thro' Octo- 

 ber and November, and if the Sea- 

 fon permit, often a great Part of 

 December. 



The Reafbn why I fix particular 

 Days for the fowing of this Seed, 

 IS, becaufe two or three Days often 

 make a great Difference in their 

 Plants 5 and becaufe theie are the 

 Days ufually fix'd by the Gardeners 

 near London, who have found their 

 Crops to fucceed beft when fown 

 at thofe Times, although one Day 

 fooner or later will make no great 

 Odds.
