New Principles of Gardening. 
When the old Stems have done blowing, which is about 
July, break them off clofe to the Ground, and their Roots will 
afterwards break out and furnith themfelves with freth Shoots 
for the Winter. 
About the middle of November they require to be dig’d, and 
at the fame time their large {preading Leaves muft be pruned 
away; and inftead of flat digging them, they muft be tidged in 
fuch a Manner, as the Roots may ftand in the middle of every 
Ridge, to preferve them from the Frofts of the Winter, which 
if they prove to be very hard, you muft not fail to defend them 
with frefh Horfe Dung, or other long Litter, that will keep the 
Frofts from their Roots. 
When Artichokes are planted in ftrong wet and cold Lands, 
they feldom laft longer than the firft Year. 
. B. That altho’ I advifed the breaking of the young 
Chokes or Flowers of the young Plantation, which is intended 
for future Times; yct ‘tis very neceffary that a {mall Piece be 
planted every Year, and fuffer’d to. grow.up to large Chokes 
fit for the Table, to fucceed thofe produced from the old or 
mother Plants in Fue.
