HUSE a well fheltered Piece of the Ground 
4 for Spring Onions: this Week is the beft 
Time in the whole Year for fowing of the 
Seeds. Let the Mould be made very fine, and 
the Seed thrown on pretty thick. | 
When the young Onions appear they may be 
thin’d where they rife in Clufters; and they muft 
be kept well weeded, and from time to time re- 
frefhed by gentle Waterings. — 
At the Approach of Winter fome Preparation 
fhould be made for fheltering the Bed in extream 
fevere Weather by a Mat or Canvas. The Onion 
is. not fo tender as to give the Gardener a great 
deal of Trouble on this Head; but it will be 
proper to keep off the Effects of the moft vio- 
lent Frofts. 
This Week it will alfo be proper to lai out 
fome Lettuces to come in toward Autumn. A 
ereat deal will depend in this Matter upon the 
Choice of a Place; and this fhould now be fe- | 
leéted with Care. 
The Lettuces we are about to plant out will 
continue till the Frofts deftroy them; therefore 
let the Gardener felect a Place where they have 
leaft Power : a warm Border under a Wall, and 
defended by a Reed-hedge, if expofed from either 
End, will be the right Choice; and the Mould 
fhould be dug a full Spade deep, broke very 
fine, and the Lettuces allowed a Foot and half 
| Diftance.

watered every Evening till they are perfectly 
rooted; and afterwards once in three Days to 
‘promote their fpeedy Growth. 
As they encreafe in Bignefs, the Ground muft 
be weeded and broke between them ; and when 
Auguft, 
they come for Ufe, they fhould be carefully pick- 
ed out in fuch manner as to leave the Ground 
free, and equal between the Remainder. Thus 
they will improve from the Time of the firft 
Gathering. a2 
The feedling Beds of Coleworts muft be 
thin’d ; the Plants that are taken up fhould not 
be thrown away, but removed into another 
and after. this the Seed-bed muft be 
weeded. 
This muft be repeated from ‘ine to Time. 
‘The tranfplanted Seedlings muft be carefully 
and the Bed often refrefhed in the 
watered ; 
fame Manner. 
It will be a great Advantage to the whole 
Growth, to bring them forward now, and this 
will be the moft effectually done by frequent 
Waterings ; for the Warmth of the Seafon, with 
that Affiftance, will have great Effect. 
The whole Ground muft be kept. weeded 5 
and the Generality of the Crops will be greatly 
forwarded by thefe Waterings. The Weeds on 
Dung-hills, and wafte Places near the Ground, 
fhould alfo be pulled up now to prevent the 
ripening of the Seeds,
