•T The Place. 
All the kindes of Radifh require a loofe ground which hath beene long manured and is fome- 
whar fat. They pvofperwell in fandie ground , where they are not fo fubiea tovvormes,as in other 
gr0lUldS - f The Tim. 
The'e kindes ofRadifh are moft fitly fowcn after the Summer Solfticc m Iuneor Iulie: For be- 
in a fovven betimes in the fpring they yeeld not their roots fo kindly nor profitably, for then they 
doe for the moft part quickly run vp to ftalke and feed, where otherwife they doe not floure and 
feed till the nextfpring following . They may be fowen tenmoneths intheyeere, but as I laid 
before, the bell; time is in Iune and Iulie. T>j(
