Aug. The Gardeners Kalendar. 251 



You may, in this month, plant flips of Sage, 

 Rofemary, Stoechas, Lavender, Maftich, and 

 other aromatick plants, where it was omitted 

 in the fpring ; but tbefe will not be near fo 

 ftrong, nor fo capable of refifting the cold of 

 the next winter fo well, as thofe planted in the 

 fpring 5 therefore will require to be iheltered, 

 if the winter fhould prove fevere. 



Cut fuch herbs as are now in flower to diftil, 

 or to dry for winter ufe, always obferving to do 

 it when they are dry, and hang them up in a 

 dry (hady place ; for if they are dried in the 

 fun, they will (brink up, turn black, and be of 

 little worth. 



Continue to fow the feeds of Crefles, Rape, 

 Turnep, Raddi(h, Muflard, and other kinds of 

 Sallet herbs, every week, that the table may 

 not be unfurnifhed, for thefe forts foon grow 

 too large for ufe at this feafon. 



Gather all forts of kitchen-garden feeds, 

 which are now ripe, fpreading them upon mats 

 to dry i and then beat or rub them out of their 

 hufksor pods, and put them up till the feafons 

 for fowing them. 



The Raddifti feed, which is now in pod, 

 muft be guarded, to prevent the birds from 

 devouring it, which they will do in a fhort time, 

 if they are not continually watched.
