The Tragical Kitchen Gardiner. 227 



ktter end of January, under the beft 

 fituatcd borders you have, which will 

 lie quiet till the feverity of the weather 

 is over, and then peep up and grow a- 

 pace 5 and from thefe we often have 

 our beft crops, tho' the laft method of 

 fowing them under glafs-framcs, and 

 then planting them out, is a moft ex- 

 cellent way. 



But the greateft feafon of all is about 

 a week or ten days after Candlemas ^ or 

 in warm foils, about Candlemas-d^y it 

 felf 5 for by the time they peep up, the 

 feverity of the frofts are going over, 

 and it is with them as with all other 

 kitchen plants, the lefs they are baulk- 

 ed and ftinted by cold weather, the 

 better they bear and blow 5 though 

 tranfpl anting difpofes them much to 

 bear, but that cannot be done in large 

 gardens. 



To purfue the thread of thefe inftruc- 

 tionsj you are to plant, once in ten, 

 or twelve, or fifteen days, a few at a 

 time, till the latter end of May, or be- 

 ginning of JunCy v^^hich will fupply the 

 table all the iummer, autumn, ^c. till 

 the froft puts an end to all our endea- 

 vours.
