be more for the Affiftance of his Crops upon the

Garden, and they are at no Time of the Year fo

Hoe, or by the Spade, according to the Condi- 
tion of the feveral Crops among which they have 
sot Footing. 
They are ftrong at this Seafon, ahd the Crops but 
weak: they will therefore foon over-powerand ftarve 
_ them. It is the Seafon alfo when a great many of them 
ripen their Seeds; and if not deftroy’d now they will 
lay the Foundation of a great deal of Trouble. 
The Seeds of many ee them will ripen as they 
lie upon the Ground, and by Means of the 
Down annex’d to them, will be carry’d all about 
the Garden. Let Care be taken to prevent this. 
When the Crops are clean’d in this Manner, 
if the Seafon prove dry it will be a great Refreth- 
ment to them to have a moderate Watering. 
Every thing being thus put into a good Condi- 
‘tion of Growing, let what new Crops are requir’d 
be put in upon the Pieces of Ground, clear’d 
from the early Growths, and enrich’d by fome 
eae old Dung well dug in.

Seed thicker this Time than in the earlieft Sow-

Give them at Times gentle Waterings ; and when

_ Lay out another Piece of Ground for blanch-

Trenches, at a Yard ‘afunder. Dig thefe with 
particular Care, break the Earth fmall, and then 
bring in the Plants from their Bed. 
Set them five Inches afunder, and lay i in the 
Mould well about them.. They will grow in 
a very favourable Manner, becaufe of the great 
Space of vacant Ground between the Rows; forthe | 
Roots of Celeri fend out extremely long, tho’ 
very flender, horizontal Fibres: and they will thus 
be very eafily earth’d up from Time to Time, 
becaufe there will be Plenty of good Mould, and 
free Room for the Spade to work between them. 
Every Time the Earth is broke for the drawing 
it up about their rifing Stalks, the Plants will 
fhew new Vigour; and they will rife to a greater 
Degree of Excellence, than in the artlefs Manner
