RE ORAS, 
A 
Care and Management of the Ground. 
ET a Couple of Pieces of Ground be dug , tread it dewn that it may dig wellin. Let him 
up, and prepared for Celeri and Endive: | then turn up the whole a full ‘Spades Depth ; 
and Jet the Gardener who has ftudied his Bufi- | and take Care to break and mix the Mould very 
nefs according to thefe Directions we lay down, | well in. | | | 
prepare for both in a judicious Manner. Then let him draw Lines lengthway and actofs 
Dung is neceffary in the Kitchen Ground on | for the Endive; bringing in the Plants, and put- 
* fome Occafions, but it is an Error to ufe it on ting them into the Ground with due Care, and 
all. In the prefent Inftance it is altogether hurt-_ 
ful; it fpoils the Tafte of both thefe Plants, and 
at a fair Diftance. : 
For the Celeri there requires more Manage- 
ment. This Piece is to be mark’d out by Lines 
only lengthway, and thrown up in Drills for the 
Plants. : 
The allowing a due Diftance between. thefe, 
as alfo between Plant and Plant, is the only Way 
of having the Growth in Perfeétion; but in the 
Kitchen Grounds where thefe Things are raifed to 
fupply the Markets, this cgnnot be expected. 
The Rent of Ground is too high; and the more 
Space is allowed to the Plants, the more Labour 
they take in the Management; for if the whole 
Ground be not dug up, the Room is ufelef. 
Sand added to the Ground where Celeri is to 
be blanch’d, is ufeful alfo according to the Nature 
of the Soil; but this Addition of Pafture Earth 
an{wers every Way the beft at this Seafon: it does 
by Worms. 
Few know the Virtues of frefh Land; and 
fewer ftill the Difference in Tafte between thofe 
Plants which are produced by Dung, and thofe of 
the fame Kind by means only of an unexhaufted 
Earth. The Faét is, that frefh Mould will pro- 
duce the fineft Herbage: but when it has been 
exhaufted by fucceffive Crops, fome Enrichment 
is required; and ’tis Dung that generally is 
ufed. | 
In the prefent Cafe it is not needed: both 
thefe Crops will fucceed better; be whiter, ten- 
derer, and finer tafted by far without ir. 
When the Pieces of Ground are fixed upon for 
this Service, let the Gardener go into a rich, dry 
Patture ; and take from under the Turf as much 
Mould as will cover them four Inches deep. 
Let him throw this upon the Pieces, rake it 
level, and draw off any large Stems, and then 
and in the Gentleman’s Kitchen Garden there is 
generally Room enough,
