the hot (andy or grauelly grounds, and although it bee longer before it bee brought to 
mould then that of horfes, yet it will outlaft it more then twice fo long. Let euery one 
thereforetake according to the nature of the ground fuch helpcs asaremoft Stand 
conuenient, as I haue here and before (Tie wed. But I doe here ingenuoufly confeffe my 
opinion of thefe forcings and helpings of ground, that howfoeuer it doth much good 
to fome particular things, which becaufe th ey delight in heate, and cannot be brought 
to perfection without it in this our Countrey, which is colder then their naturali from 
whencethey are brought, mud therfore haue artificiali helpes to forward them 5 yet 
for many other things the comport doth much alter and abate the naturali vigour, and 
quickenefle of tafte, that is pcrceiued in them that grow in a naturali fat or Tandy foile 
that is not fo hoi pen.

The forme of a Gorden of herbes for necejftryvfcs, ^ 
rvitS the ordering thereof 
A S our former Garden of pleafure is wholly formable in euery part with 
fquares, trayles, and knots, and to bee ftill maintained in their due forme and 
beautie : fo on the contrary fide this Garden cannot long conferuc any forme, 
for that euery partthereof is fubiedf to mutation and alteration. For although it is 
conuenient that many herbes doe grow by themfclues on beds, cart out into fome pro- 
portion fit for them, as T yme, Hiftope, Sage, &c. yet many others may bee fowen to- 
gether on a plot of ground of that largenefle that may feruc euery mans particular vfe 
as he (hall haue occafion to employ it, as Reddilh, Letticc and Onions, which after 
they are gro wne vp together may be drawne vp and taken away,as there is occafion to 
fpendthem : but Carrots or Parfneps being fowen withothersmuftbeefufferedro 
grow laft, becaufe they require a longer time before they be fit to be taken vp. Other 
herbes require fome large compafle of ground whereon they may grow of themfelues 
without any other herbes growing among them, as Artichokes,Cowcumbers,Melons, 
Pompions. And fome will doe fo with their Cabbages alfo, but the bed and moft fru- 
gali way nowvfed, is to plant them round about the border of your plot or ground 
whereon you plant Cowcumbers, Pompions, or other things, in that by this meanes 
fo much ground will be well faued,and the other thingsbe no whit hindered thereby, 
which elfe a great dcale of ground muft be employed for themaparr. Sothatbythis 
that I haue here faid, you may perceiue the forme of this Garden is for the moft part, 
to bee (fill out of forme and order, in that the continuall taking vp of the herbes and 
rootes that are fowen and planted, caufcththc beds or parts of this Garden to lye 
broken, difmembered, and out of theorderthat atthe firftit was put into. Remem- 
ber herewithall that (as I faid before) this Garden requireththe continuall helpe of 
foyle to be brought into it, in that the plenty of thefemannerof herbes and rootes 
doe fo much wafte the fertilitie and fatiieffe of the ground, that without continuall 
refrething it would quickly become to poore and barren, that it would not yeelde the 
worthof thefeede. Theordinary time to faylea Garden, is to bring in manure or 
dung before Chriftmas, and eyther bury it fome fmall depth, nottoodeepe, or elfe 
to lay it vpon theground that the winter froftes may pierce it, and then turne it (hallow 
into the ground to fow your feeds in the Spring.
