weeds ; and when the plants have got their rough 

 leaves, thin them out to three or four inches apart. 



SALLADS. 



Continue successional sowings and plantations of 

 all sorts of sallads, according to their kinds, and as 

 directed in the former months, till August. A re- 

 petition of directions, in the summer months, would 

 be all to one and the same effect, without variety. 

 In August, I shall resume directions for the cul- 

 ture of sallads, for winter and next spring use. 



HERBS. 



If any of those, enumerated last month, be still 

 unsown or unplanted, let it now be done as soon as 

 may be convenient. All or any of them will succeed 

 very well, if got into the ground in the course of the 

 month. Presuming that the directions already given 

 on this head (see March), may suffice, both for 

 these and for medicinal herbs, it will not be neces- 

 sary to repeat them. I shall, however, at the pro- 

 per seasons, notice the methods of gathering and 

 drying such of the kinds as should be preserved for 

 winter use ; of which see July and August.
