 be repeated as often as it comes in my 

 way, that they may make the greater 

 imprellion on my readers. And here 

 I can't but remark an error which I think 

 is very obvious, in my ingenious friend 

 Mr. Bradley^ who advifes the fowing 

 melons in October ; becaufe how agree-

 melon and cucumber plants will not ad- 

 mit of any ftoppage at all, but muft be 

 carry'don with full career from the time 

 of their fowing, till you reap the fruit; 

 and if once futFer'd to be at a ftand, as 

 cabbage, coUyflowers, and other gardea 

 vegetables do, they are good for no- 

 thing; or elfc we might indeed have 

 melons very early, by that method this 

 •gentleman aims at.
