Beds. | | 
For this Purpofe a Piece of Ground muft be 
well dug, and the Mould broke fine.. : 
The Seedlings muft be planted out by Lines 
drawn lenethwife and acrofs the Bed, at different 
Diftances according to their various Sizes. They 
—fhould have good Room allow’d for growing, 
and they muft be water’d 
and fhaded till they 
have taken root. | , 
The common Miftake in the Management of 
thefe, is planting them too clofe; but unlefs they 
are allow’d a due Diftance, they will. not have 
their true Vigour, or full Flavour. 
Nor is there any Thing gain’d by thus crowd- 
ing them together: for a Bed of any given Mea- 
fure, will yield a larger Quantity for cutting, 
_ from a fmall Number of Plants that have. the 
proper Scope, than from a larger, which ftarve 
and choak up one another. 
Young Salletting is in lefs Repute now. the 
larger Kinds are in Seafon ; but it may be rais’d 
two Spades deep. 
On this Lines muft be drawn at a Yard and 
half afunder, lengthways and acrofs; and the 
Plants regularly let into thefe at equal Diftances, 
one in the Centre of every Square: there will 
thus be Opportunity to earth them up as they 
grow, and they will attain a great Height and 
Delicacy. 
The Time: of faving Seeds from many of the 
Kitchen Garden Produéts is now come; and let 
the careful Gardener here imitate, in fome de- 
etree, what we have directed for the Florift.
