in. And then again, in the month of 

 Augiift there is another great crop fown, 

 which is to laft all the other autumn 

 months, and, being carried into the 

 confervatory, all the winter. 



When endive comes up too thick (as 

 was juft now mentiond) the beft way- 

 is to hoe or eat it up, or take the fuper- 

 fiuous plants to replant in another place, 

 as before direfted 5 but it muft be re- 

 membrcd that it ought to be well wa- 

 tered, cfpccialiy in all hot weather, and 

 as it grows large to tie it up with bafs 

 mats to whiten it, tho' not all together, 

 but fome one time and fome another, 

 as occafion requires, it being apt to rot 

 when it has been long tied up, but be- 

 ing fo tied, it whitens in fifteen or twen- 

 ty days, and lefs ; but it muft alfo be 

 noted, that you Ihould chufe a fair day 

 for that work, elfe it will be fubjed to 

 rot 5 and as it is a plant that is very ap- 

 prehenfive of the froft, as foon as ever 

 cold weather begins to come on, it 

 ought to be covered with long dung, 

 being firft fanded up with fome rich fine 

 fand, or fine mold, and when white, 

 taken up and carried into the confer- 

 vatory, as bcfore-mentiond.
