 leaves about an inch broad, hoe and thin them 

 five or fix to feven or eight inches diftance, 

 cutting or pulling up all weeds: they will then 

 have room for growth, and the roots to attain 

 a proper fize in May and June, when, ac- 

 cording as wanted, draw them in a legular 

 thinning order, that the remainder may have 

 joom to grow larger. 



I'he next fowing perform in May, twice in 

 that month, for fuccelfion to the foregoing, 

 and for firll main Summer crops, to continue

 and rake it on equally, and the plants, when 

 an inch or two in growth, to be hoed in dry- 

 weather, thinning the plants fix to eight or 

 ten inches diftance, and cut down all weeds. 

 They will come in for good crops, the end of 

 June and July, and Augufl.
