< HIS Week the Gardener muft prepare his 
Ridges for Cucumbers and Melons that are 
to be ied under Bell-Glaffes: let him not fpare 
Dung, much lefs Labour, for this will always | 
be very well repaid. | 
. The Quantity of Dung muft be proportioned 
to the Number of Holes intended ; and - the beft 
Proportion I have found, is a Load to every five 
Holes: this muft be thrown up with fome A thes, 
as we direéted for making the Hot-Beds; and _ watering them gently at Times; and this muft 
‘when it has lain a Week it will be fit for Ufe. 
-. Count the Glaffes intended for one Row, and 
_mark out a Trench as many Yards in Length as 
there are Glaffes, with the Allowance of their } 
Breadth; for the beft Way of putting them is at 
a fair Yard Diftance. The Width is to be two 
Foot nine Inches. 
‘as we directed them to be rais’d ; and having their 
rough Leaves, they are ready for this Planting. 
Let the Depth of the Trench be five Inches ; and, 
‘if in a moift Soil, lefs. 
Throw in the Dung, and fpread it in as in 
making a Hot-Bed ; lay the Top even, and level 
- the Sides; then meafure the Diftances for the 
‘Holes, and in each Place lay in a Bafket' of Earth 
frefh from a good Heap of rich Mould, ftick up 
a Stake in sha Middle, and fet on the Glafs. 
Trench; and if there be not enough of this to 
give it a Coat three Inches thick, bring on fome 
more to compleat the Covering. 
~ Let the Glaflés remain fifty- fix Hours upon the 
Bed, then bring in the Plants. =~ 
Place two for each Glafs, levelling the Hill of 
Mould at Top; and when they are planted raifing 
a Ridge of Earth, like a Bafon, to hold Water. 
~ Shade them till they have taken good Root, 
be continued till they have acquired good ‘Strength, 
and fpread luxuriantly. 
‘When a large Quantity of Melons and Cucum- 
bers is intended to be rais’d this Way, many of thefe 
Ridges may be made in the fame Manner: their 
| Diftance fhould be five Foot from one another, and 
The Plants are now vigorous, | 
the Management of the Plants entirely the fame. 
~ Let the Gardener now put in another Crop of 
French Beans into the natural Ground. He mutt 
‘chufe a warm and fheltered Place, and guard the 
young Plants when they appear, from Slugs and 
other Devourers. There is no kind of Crop that 
fo much requires thefe frequent Sowings, and this 
for many Reafons. None is {o apt to rot in the 
Ground, none is in fuch Danger of being devour’d 
as foon as the Plants appear, nor is there any 
which will come fo acceptably to Table in repeated
