 weeks, begins to decline confiderably in heat, 

 renew it by applying a lining of hot dung to 

 the fides, eighteen inches wide, railing it by 

 degrees as high as the dung of the bed. 



in a month or five weeks after making ani 

 planiing the bi^d, it will begin to produce 

 Jhoots ibr gathering in conliderable abun- 

 dance, according to the thick or clofely-placed 

 depofit of the numerous roots ; and when the 

 Ihoots or buds are advanced above the earth, 

 two to three or four inches, they are of proper 

 growth forgathering; in which obferve, that, 

 as they will come up very thickly all over the 

 bed, and numerous buds advancing below the 

 lurface, in different llages of growth, perform 

 the gatherings principally by breaking them 

 off to the bottom, rot cutring ; thruftir.g your

 without injuring the buds that are advancing 

 below in regular fuccelFion, which will furjiifii 

 a fupply for gathering two or three times a 

 week, for a fortnight, in good perfeftion, and 

 about a week longer in an inferior degree in 

 quantity and fize ; then v/iil generally decline
