7. The Quantity is generally at Pleafure, being chiefly eaten 
in Spring Pottage, which may be made in lefs or greater Quan- 
tity as defired. 
8. Its Cultcvation. 
. The Leck (as I obferved before) delights in a light rich 
Soil, and is fown in March, cither in Borders to be afterwards 
tranfplanted out or thinly in Quarters, to remain there, and be 
houghed out as Onions, at about four or five Inches apart. 
But the beft Way is to tranfplant them in uly at the afore- 
{aid Diftance, which will very much contribute to their largenefs5 
and if poflible, make ufe of wet Weather at planting; for 
is much more natural to every fort of Vegetable, than any 
Water that can be given to them : However if the Seafon proves 
dry, they muft be plentifully watered at planting. ms 
The Seed (as before faid in its Defcription) is not pro- 
duced till the fecond Year; and as foon as the Seed Veffels 
begin to open, cut off the globular Heads of Seed, and tye 
them up with Lines to the Cicling, fo that their Heads may 
hang clear of one another, and be the fooner dry, at which 
time the Seed may be beaten out of its Husks, and kept for 
Ufe in a very dry Place, free from Wet, Damps, ec.
