times it will be as forward to cut for ule, being lown about the 
end of April, or beginning of M ay, as that which is Town in 
Mid-March without a hot Bed, if it be helpt with often water¬ 
ing, in cafe of dry weather. 
Alilanders are fowa about Midfummer or later,to be fpent in 
the Spring} chiefly in Lent, as loon as the Seed is ripe, is a 
fure and good time, low them in any by-place,although it be 
Ibmething fhady. 
Red Beets are lb wo in the Spring, either ftray amongft your 
Onions, or other roots, or the Seed prickt out on Beds pretty 
thin, that they may be great to ufe for Saliets, or to garnilh 
Diflies: And 
Skerrets require a rich ground, inclining rather to moifture 
than drought} they are fown of Seed very thin amongft other 
things in February or March } but the fureft way in ordinary 
grounds, is to let them of flips being parted as Angle as may 
be, and fet on the edges of your Onion Beds ? or about half a 
foot or more,which is beft, afunder on Beds by themlelves in 
ground that is good,for then they will be At for ufe the Winter 
and Lent following} if they be let too thick, or above one flip 
in a place, they will ftarve one another $ they are apt to can¬ 
ker, and therefore require Irelh and well lealoned ground by 
Winter Husbandry, Scorlonera,or Vipers grals} the roots are 
uled by lbme,as Skerets or Parfnips, they are increaled either 
by lowing the Seeds, or by parting and letting the tops of the 
roots when the roots are taken up for ule } allb the roots being 
cut or broken into leveral pieces and let in good ground, not 
over dry, will in Ihorr time yield conftderable increale} about 
eight or nine inches alimder is a convenient diftance: they are 
held to be very cordial and excellent in Fevers, as I have had 
experience thereof leveral times} the Spring is the beft fealbn, 
yet I have let of them mo ft times in the year with good luc- 
cels. 
Horle-radifh is increaled by letting the upper part or tops 
of the root,and by Iprouts fpreading from the Elder roots,alfo 
by pieces of roots left in the ground accidentally,or purpolely 
cut
