'30 THE CULINARY GARDEN. 



SALLADS. 



Of sowing Lettuce. 



Lettuce may be sown by the middle, or towards 

 the latter-end of the month, if the weather be mild 

 and dry. An early warm spot is to be chosen, and a 

 rich light soil. The kinds fittest for this sowing are 

 the brown Dutch, hardy green, white coss, and 

 green coss. Sow rather thickly, in order to afford 

 plants for transplanting in March. Cover lightly, 

 and rake all in smooth and neatly. Do not tread 

 or beat in the seeds. 



Lettuce may be sown and treated in every re- 

 spect as directed above for carrot, either on a hot- 

 bed, or on a border in front of a pinery or other 

 forcing-house. It may either be sown along with 

 the carrot thinly, or by itself, for a full crop ; 

 among which might be sown a sprinkling of short- 

 top radish. 



Of sowing Radish. 



Short-top and salmon radish may be sown at the 

 beginning, and also these, and the red and white 

 turnip-rooted kinds at the end of the month. Any 

 dry, lightish, and tolerably warm situation, will an- 

 swer. They may either be sown by themselves, 

 thickly, or among lettuce, onions, or spinage, thinly. 



Radishes may also be sown on a hot-bed, &c. as 

 noticed above, along with carrot or lettuce, but 

 should be sown thinly, that the carrot or lettuce 

 mav not be too much drawn bv them.
