Rows, it will be full near enough ; 

 but however, vou mult expecl fome 

 of your Seeds to fail : and therefore 

 you lhould fcatter them about two 

 Inches Diltancc ; then cover the 

 Seeds about half an Inch thick with 

 Earth, "laying it fmooth : thefe Rills 

 lhould be made fixteen Inches afun- 

 der, or more, that there may be 

 room to clear the Ground ; as alfo 

 to earth up the Plants when they are 

 fuli grown. 



When the Plants come up, which 

 will be in the Space of about three 

 Weeks or a Month after fowing, 

 you mult with a fmail Hoe cut up 

 all the Weeds between them, and 

 cut out the Plants to about four 

 Inches Diltance; and as they ad- 

 vance, and the Weeds fpring again, 

 they mould, from time to time, be 

 hoed: and at the Jail time of thin- 

 ning them, they fhould be left fix 

 or feven Inches afunder at lealt. If 

 your Kind be good, the Stems of 

 the Plant will increafe to a confi- 

 derable Bulk jult above the Surface 

 of the Ground ; which Part mould 

 be eartrTd up in the manner of Ce- 

 lery, to blanch, about a Fortnight 

 before it is ufed ; and this will caufe 

 it to be very tonder and crifp. 



Your fecond Crop fhould be fown 

 about three Weeks after the firlt, 

 and fo continue fowing every three 

 Weeks or a Month till July ; after 

 which time it will be too late for 

 the Plants to come to any Perfection. 

 But you fhould obferve to fow in 

 April and M*y on a moilter So l 

 than that which you fow'd the nrli 

 on : as alfo what you fow in the lat- 

 ter Part of June, cr the Beginning 

 of Jttfyf mould be fown on a 'drier 

 Soil, a: d in a warmer Situation ; 

 becaufe this Crop will not be fit for 

 Ufe till late in Autumn, and there- 

 fore will be fubjeel to Injuries from 

 too much wet or cold Weather, if on 



a moiit Soil. But as the Ground is 

 very often extreme dry in June and 

 July, and the Seeds more apt to 

 mifcarry, and not come up, you 

 mould therefore obferve to water 

 and {hade the Beds where this Seed 

 is fown at that Seafon, until the 

 Plants come up. 



A fmall Bed of this Plant will be 

 fufiicient at each Sowing for a mid- 

 dling Family ; and for a large Fa- 

 mily, a Bed of about twenty Feet 

 long, and four Feet broad, will be 

 full enough at a time.
