ders three Feet wide, which in a 

 fliort time will multiply exceeding- 

 ly, and will grow upon almoft any 

 Soil, and in any Situation j and 

 their being fo hardy as to refift the 

 feverefl of our Winters, and being 

 green and fit for Ufe fo early in 

 the Spring, renders them worthy 

 of a Place in all good Kitchen- 

 Gardens. 



The Gives are a very fmall Sort 

 of Oniony which never produces 

 any Bulbs, nor (eldom grows above 

 fix Inches high in the Blade, which 

 is very fmall and llender, and grows 

 in Bunches like the former: This 

 was formerly in great Requeft for 

 Sallads in the Spring, as being 

 fomewhat milder than thofe Onions 

 which had flood through the Win- 

 ter : They are propagated by part- 

 ing their Roots like the former, 

 and are alio very hardy, and will 

 be fit for Ufe early in the Spring. 



The WelJJj Onions are only pro- 

 pagated for Spring Ufe alfo : Thefe 

 never make any Bulb, and are there- 

 fore only fit to be us'd green for 

 Sallads, Sec. They are fown about 

 the End of July, in Beds of about 

 three Feet and a half wide, leaving 

 Allies of two Feet broad to go be- 

 tween the Beds to clean them, and 

 in a Fortnight's Time they will ap- 

 pear above-ground, and muft be 

 carefully clcar'd from Weeds i to- 

 wards the Middle of October , their 

 Blades will die away, fo that the 

 whole Spot will feem to be naked, 

 v/hich hath led many People to 

 dig up the Ground again, fuppofing 

 the Crop totally loilj whereas, if 

 they are let ftand undifturb'd, they 

 will come up again very ftrong in 

 January y and from that time grow 

 very vigorouily, refifting all Wea- 

 thers, and by March will be fit to 

 draw for young Onions^ and are, 

 in the Markets, more valu'd than 



C E 



any other Sort at that Seaibn, fos 

 they are extremely green and fine, 

 tho' they are much ftronger than 

 the common Onion, in Tafte, ap- 

 proaching nearer to Garlick:, which 

 hath occafion'd their being lefs 

 efteem'd for the Table : But as no 

 Winter, however ib hard, will hurt 

 them, fo it is proper to have a 

 tev/ of them to fupply the Table, 

 in cafe the common Sort fliouid be 

 deftroy'd by Frofls. 



The Roots of thefe Onions, if 

 planted out at fix or eight Inches Dif- 

 tance in March, will produce ripe 

 Seeds in Autumn, but 'twiii be in 

 fmall Quantities the firft Year ; 

 therefore the lame Roots ihould 

 rernain unremov'd, which the ie- 

 cond and third Year will produce 

 many Stems, and afford a good 

 Supply of Seeds: Thefe Roots will 

 abide many Years good, but fhouid 

 be tranfplanted and parted every 

 fecond or third Year, which will 

 caufe them to produce ftrong 

 Seeds.
