I So 7he VraBical Kitchen Gardiner". 



When the buds begin to appear a" 

 bove ground, which will be in about 

 ten or fifteen days after planting 5 then 

 you muft give them air, according as the 

 weather will permit, fuice it is that 

 whidh^makes^them green, and contri- 

 butes chiefly t^ the goodnefs of their 

 tafte 5 and if the ridge is in any degree 

 hot, and the weather mildifh, they may 

 be tiled up with a thick tile or piece 

 of brick, all night as well as day 5 for 

 the more they have of the ftcam, the 

 more fickly and dungy they will tafle. 



Some give them an inch or two of 

 frefh mold more, after they are come 

 up, not Judging it right to earth the 

 ridge but two or three times 5 but thus 

 managed you may exped good grafs for 

 a month fuccellively, if the feverity of 

 the weather, or, which is worfe, great 

 rains and no fun, don t hinder. But it s 

 proper, as the heat of your ridge de- 

 cays, and as the weather is either fe- 

 verer or milder, to lay frefh dung all 

 round the bed, to ftrike in frefh heat, 

 and to cover the glaffes above in all 

 cold weather, fo as that the bed may 

 keep working continually, as gardiners 

 who are ufcd to this employ phrafe it.
