♦ Note , That Sweet Herbs should be itirr’d up and new moulded, Jpril OUt .

• to make them strike fresh Roots.

Sow also Lettuce , Rurflan , Caully-flower , Radish , Leeks , &Cc.

• One may sow Radijh and Carrots together in the lame Bed, so as

• the first may be drawn, whilst the other is ready. Sow Radijh , Let-

• Rursan , Samp'ter, Rarsnips , Carrots , on the same Ground,

• gathering each Kind in their Sealons, leaving the R er snips to Win-

• ter: But it were good to change the Ground for Carrots and Parsnips

• now and then.

* Remember to them when they are about two Inches high,

• and a little after to thin them with a small Haugh.

Plant Artichoak - flips, &c.

Set French-Beans, &c. And sow Turnips to have them early.

You may yet flip Lavendar, Thyme, RennyroyaJ Sage, Rosemary,

&c. * and the oftner you clip and cut them, the more will they thrive.

• Sage so dress’d at the Spring and Autumn, will cause it to continue

• long and fair without replanting.

•To have excellent Salleting all the Year round, sow Turnip-feed,

• Radijh , Lettuce, Rursan , Borrage, Tarragon, and all other kinds,

• in very rich Ground, and in Winter and Spring on the Hot-bed co-

• ver’d, &c. drawing them Root and all as soon as they open a Leaf as

• broad as a Three-penny Piece, and so repeat sowing monthly.

• Geld and prune Strawberries; Now also W all-Trees , especially

• the Reach , should have a second Pruning, stiortning the Branches just

• above the knit Fruit.

Towards the middle of this Month begin to plant forth your Melonsand Cucumbers, and so to the latter end, your Ridges well prepared.

Gather up Worms and Snails after Evening Showers; continue thisafter all Summer Rains.

* Soot-Ashes, Refuse Sweepings of Tobacco-Stalks, made into a fine

• Powder, or Dust, and strewed half an Inch in thickness at the foot of

• Trees, and now and then renewed, prevents Pismires, and other

• crawling Insects, from invading the Fruit, &c.

* Weed and haugh betimes. See July. In such Bordures as you

• plant Wall-Fruit, or Espaliers (which Bordures should be, at the

• least, four or five Foot in breadth) plant neither Herbs nor Flowers ,

• that you may be continually stirring the Mould with the Spade, and

• (as need is) recreating it with Composts: This may be instead (and

• far better) of Hand-weeding ; only you may adorn the outward Verge

• with an Edging of Rink, Limon, Thyme, Veronica , &c. renewing

• them when you perceive them to grow sticky, and leave Gaps ; and

• you may sprinkle the rest of the Surface with Lettuce, Radijh,

• Turnip-seeds for tender Salleting, lo you be lure to pull them up

• Root and all by that time they are an Inch high, and strew a Leaf

• no broader than a Three-pence.

Open now your Bee-hives, for now they hatch ; look carefully tothem, and prepare your Hives, &Cc.
