The Tragical Kitchen Gardiner, 401 



middle, or at fartheft the latter end of 

 Auguft. 



The moderate temper of air which now The Mo: r 

 keeps an agreeable medium between ^^.°/^\^ 

 great heat of tiie dog-days newly pair, and en garden 

 the bitter cold that is to brine on w inter, 



, . , , . r ' ' 1 ber and 



invites the inhabitants of cities and con- October. 

 jfin*d places to fally out and breath the 

 free air of the country , and tho* there are 

 a great many curiofities of tlie garden paft 

 and gone, yet there remains fome peafe 

 and beans, abundance of artichokes, fome 

 collyflowers, and fruits are yet plenty; fo 

 that in fine, fuch is the cooinefs, ferenity 

 and filence of thefe two months (cfpeci- 

 ally O^obef) that I can t think it is exccll'd 

 by any one of the twelve. 



But the induftrious gardiner is not with- 

 out his fhare of the labour and toil of this 

 month (I mean September) for as foon as 

 any fquare is disfurniih'd of onions, gar- 

 lick, fhallots, roccambo, &c. then pre- 

 fently he is foUicitous to fill it again with 

 fpinage, chervil, winter carrots, Wel^ 

 onions, ire. for the fpring. 



The fame courfe is to be taken with 

 beds where fummer lettuce has been, 

 which fhould be fucceeded by a great num- 

 ber of endive plants, winter lettuces, ra- 

 D d diflies.
