Plant you-r Hartichoaks ought to be very good,** or at leaft 
made fo by trenching or digging in good ftore of dung, and 
then if you will you may fbw a Crop of Onions, Radifh, or 
a fprinkling of Carrots^ and a few of Lettice amongft them 
the firft year, and having fown your ground, you may range 
your line, and by it Plant your Hartichoak flips about three 
foot afunder pretty deep, doling the ground to your Plant 
with your heel on that fide contrary to the Sun, that there 
may be a low place the better to hold the water within com- 
pafs, that lo it may foak to the Root, and not Ipread about 5 
and in cafe the weather be dry when you Plant, it will be a 
Hire and good way to lay a little litter or other ftraw thin 
and lightly upon each Plant, to keep off the heat of the Sun 
until they be rooted, and in fb doing, one watering will be 
better than two or three without it 5 and be litre that what

and ftrength before the Winter, and your Plants the ftronger 
and forwarder in the Spring 3 alfo if you have any Crop 
amongft your Hartichoaks, it will have the more air and li¬ 
berty to come to perfection. 
Alio about the end of Otfober^ or in November , you are to

up in Ridges, fo as every row of Plants or Hartichoak ftocks 
may ftand in the middle of a ridge, for their better prefer va¬

trench, and withall having a care that you do not difturb 
or prejudice the Root of your Hartichoaks at that time of the 
year, left they fhould not fufficiently recover to withftand
