Chap. VI* 
The msumer end ordering of mtny forts of herbes tied 
rootes for Saffets, 
I F I fhould fet dowae all the forts of herbes that are vfually gathered for Sallets , I 
fhould not onely fpeake of Garden herbes , but of many herbes, &c. thatgrowc 
wilde in the fields, or elfebe but weedes in a Garden; for the vfuall manner with 
many, is to take the young buds and leaues of euery thing almoft that groweth, as well 
in the Garden as in the Fields, and put them all together, that the taftc ofthe one may 
amend the rellifh ofthe other: But I will only fliew you thole that are fo wn or planted 
in «ardens forthat purpofe. Afparagusisa principali &dele<2able Sallet herbe, whole 
yoking fhootes when they arc a good handfull highaboue the ground , are cut an inch, 
within the ground, which being boylcd,are eaten with a little vinegar and butter, asa 
Sallet of great delight. Their ordering with thebeft Gai diners is on this wife: When 
you haue prouided feede ofthe beft kinde, you muftfoweit either before Chnftmas, 
as moft doe, or before the end of February ; the later you fowe, the later and the more 
hardly will they fpring : after they aregrownevp, theyareto be tranfplanted in Au- 
tumneonabed well trenched in with dung; for elfe they will not bee worth your la- 
bour and fet about a foote-diftance in funder, and looke that the more caref ull y ou are 
in the replanting of them, the better they will thriue, and the fooncr grovvc great : at- 
ter Sue or fix yeares (landing they vfually doe decay «and therefore they that ftriueto 
haue continually faire and great heads , doe from feede raife vp young for their (tore. 
You muff likewife fee that you cut not your heads or young flioote too nigh , or too 
much that is, to take away too many heads from a roote, but to leaue a fumcient num- 
ber vn cut, otherwife it will kill the heart of your rootes the fooner caufing them to 
dye or to giue very finall heads or fhootes ; for you may well conhder Wlt " your 
felfe 5 that if the roote haue not head enough left it aboue the ground to inoote greene 
this yesrc,it will not, nor cannot profper vnder ground ro giue encreafe the aext yeare. 
The ordering of Lcttice I haue fpoken of before , and (hall not neede here to repeate 
what hath beenc already faid, but referre you thereunto for the fowins, planting, &c. 
onely I will here fliew you the manner of ordering them for Sallets. There arc fome 
forts of Lettice that growe very great , and clofe their heads, which are called Cab-
