will hinder very much if over-many , or you may put a 
few carrot-feed amongft your Parfnips , and fo on the 
contrary. Alfo if your ground be very rich, you may 
fprinkle a few radifh-feed amongft your Roots. 
The feafon for fowing your Parfnips is either in February 
or March, for it is a very hardy feed, but yet would not be 
fown later than March , for it doth lye a pretty while in 
the ground before it fpring .• I have known fome fbw Parf¬ 
nips in the beginning of November , and fbmetimes in October , 
and do very wells but from February to mid -March is a very 
fare and good feafon. * 
Carrots may be fown from February to the end of April , 
but if you begin in February , the ground ought not to be

ter they are weeded, before they Another one another you 
are to fize them, by plucking up, or wfiich is better, by 
the ufe of a fharp Howe to cut up, leaving none nearer 
than a good fpan afonder or thereabout, and by perfor¬ 
ming this Husbandry pretty timely , both your labour will 
be lefs, and your profit more $ if your ground be very rich, 
you are to give the more diftance, becaufothe tops or blades 
will be fo rank that they will much hinder one another in

Onions may be fown either in February , March or April, 
for to dry, to be fpent all the Winter after, but to ufo green 
in Sallets, &c. you may fow from April to the end of Augufl. 
Let them be timely weeded, and likewife fized, by pulling 
them up where they grow too thick, that they may be about 
three fingers or near a hand breadth afonder if you defire to
