You may earth your ridge immedi- 

 ately as foon as evet it is made, about 

 five or fix inches thick i and as there is 

 not fo much danger in burning the roots 

 as there is in melons and cucumbers, 

 the plants may be alfo immediately fet, 

 there being a layer of rotten dung put 

 upon the ridge to keep the heat from 

 rifing irregularly, as heretofore menti- 

 oned 5 after the plants are fet at about 

 eight inches afunder, you cover the roots 

 two inches thick with the beft old me- 

 lon-bed earth you can get. 

 • But as yet you need not put on the 

 glaffes, but only throw mats over the 

 earth, that the fteam and fury of the 

 dung may have room to evaporate, whilft 

 the roots will be ftriking in the ground ; 

 and let the ridge lie fo for five or 

 days, then put over your frames and 

 glaffes, and lay an inch, or two or three 

 inches more^ of frefli mold ovef again.
