 you may felect all fuch as you like, 

 by marking them with a Stick ; but 

 I would not have you deftroy any of

 you have feen them blow ftrong, at 

 which time you will be capable to 

 judge of their Goodnefs. 



Bat if your Roots are too thick in 

 :he Seed-bed to remain, you muft, 

 as loon as their green Leaves are de- 

 rayed, fift the Earth of your Bed 

 hrough a very fine Sieve, in order 

 :o get out the Roots, which can be

 aid fo nearly the Colour of the 

 Ground ; but in doing this, obferve 

 lot to difturb the Ground too deep, 

 jb as to endanger the burying any 

 M the Roots ; for, notwithuanding 

 .11 your Care,' many fmall Roots 

 vi\\ be left behind ; therefore, as foon 

 s you have fifted your whole Bed, 

 nd taken out all the Roots you can 

 nd, you muft level the Earth of 

 our Bed again, and let it remain 

 .11 next Year, when you wiil find a 

 lentiful Crop of Roots come up 

 gain : the young Roots which you 

 ike up muft be dried, as was direct- 

 lifor the old ones ; but mould be 

 llanted again three Weeks before 

 Iiem, that they may increafe in 

 I .rength, fo as to flower lirongly the 

 iicceeding Year.
