PROFITABLE INSRVCTIONS FOR THE MANVRING Sowing and Planting of Kitchin Gardens Very profitable for the common wealth and greatly for the helpe and comfort of poore people Gathered by Richard Gardiner of Shrewsberie Imprinted at London by Edward Allde for Edward White dwelling at the little North doore of Paules at the signe of the Gunne 1603. The Author his Preface to his louing neighbours and friends within the towne of Shrewsburie in the Countie of Salop. R. G. wisheth all happines and felicitie in Christ Iesus RIght welbeloued in Christ Iesus neighbours and friends of this my natiue soile of Shrewsburie I wish you all felicitie and happinesse in the true knowledge of our redemption in the merrits of our onely Sauiour Iesus Christ to whom with the Father the holy ghost be all honor praise and thankes for euermore Beloued it is generallie knowne vnto all men in this towne that I haue euer in good minde desired the prosperity of the same and in all good actions to my power and knowledge haue preferred the same without desire of lucre or gaine thereby and did alwayes desire to doe the vttermost of my skill as well to the common causes as also to priuate mens workes and now in my olde age or last daies I would willingly take my last farewell with some good instructions to pleasure the general number as for spiritual instructions and good aduertisments therein I leaue you to the good admonitions of the godlye Clergie and to your good proceedings in the same which God graunt for his mercies sake Amen Amongst all the practises knowledges and experiences which euer I receiued from Gods mercies in temporal blessings I doe vndoubtedly perswade my selfe that my practise and experience in Gardē stuffe or the good benefits therein dooth best benefit helpe and pleasure the generall number of people better then any other practise that euer I tooke in hand in temporall causes whatsoeuer And therefore good neighbors and friends of this my natiue soile accept this my short and simple penning of this my practise and experience in Gardening causes heerein mentioned And if any other man now or heereafter finde occasion to better in writing any thing which I haue omitted for want of full perfection by experience therein I doe most hartily desire him that so shal finde cause to better any thing omitted by me or amend any thing by me penned so to doe that God may be glorified in his good gifts the generall number the better comforted and the poore the better releeued with Garden stuffe whereas yet in this Countie of Salop Gardening stuffe is to small purpose but I hope in God as time shall serue my good beginning will be an occasion of good proceedings therein and no doubt b●loued if any man will hartily desire to doe good in these actions then vaine fruitlesse and superfluous things may bee taken out of good Gardens and sundry good commodities to pleasure the poore planted therein then no doubt the Almightie God will the better blesse your encrease and blesse your walking in your Garden in that minde and then no doubt but your good conscience will delight you as well as the great blessings that God will blesse the Garden withall● Then shall you no doubt visibly beholde in your Garden the blessed fauour and mercy of ou● most mercifull God to your euerlasting comfort not onely in the great increase there to beholde but also other wayes to your great comfort which I omit at this p●esent And when you make sale to the poore consider you are the Lords Stewards to sell with consciences● and to lend and giue also doe it willingly for we haue the vnfallable promise of God for double recompence if we so fauourablie will performe to all and specially to the poore and needy which God graunt for his mercies sake wee may haue grace to doe and also to haue ● speciall care to satisfie content or pay the tithes thereof to the ministers of the holy worde and not to suffer a bad custome to corrupt the conscience therein which God forbid And also I desire thee good reader to beare with my grosse and simple penning in so good a cause and willingly to accept my good will therein And in so dooing I shall thinke my trauail herein to be well bestowed and my good purpose the better performed which God graunt for his mercies sake Amen Edward Thorne Gent. in commendation of the worke and the Author thereof HE that desires with skilfull hand to frame a Garden plot And to manure and make it apt For

daies and but onelie water to drinke They had commonly sixe waxe poundes of small close Cabedges for a penny to the poore Aud in this manner I did serue them and they were wonderfull glad to haue them

and all by carelesnes of the people of this realme of England which do not endeuor themselues for their owne profits therein but that this last dearth and scarsitie hath somewhat vrged the people to prooue many waies for their better reliefe● whereby I hope the benefit of Carret rootes are profitable I will reueale my knowledge héerein and first the vse of them amongst the better sort by the Cookes The Cookes will take Carrets deuided in péeces and boile them to season their stewed broth and doth wonderfull well therein as dayly is knowne in seruice to the better sort Also Carret rootes are boyled with powdred béefe and eaten therewith and as some doe report a fewe Carrets do saue one quarter of béefe in the eating of a whole beefe and to be boyled and eaten with Porke and all other boyled meat of flesh amongst the common sort of people amongst the poorer sort also Carrets of red colours are desired of many to make dainty sallets for roast Mutton or Lambe with Uineger and Pepper Also Carrets shred or cut small one or two of them and boyled in pottage of any kinde doth effectually make those pottage good for the vse of the common sort Carrets well boyled and buttred is a good dish for hungrie or good stomackes Carrets in necessitie and dearth are eaten of the poore people after they be well boyled instéed of bread and meate Many people will eate Carrets raw and doe disgest well in hungry stomackes they giue good n●urishment to all people and not hurtfull to any whatsoeuer infirmities they be diseased of as by experience doth prooue by many to be true Carrets are good to be eaten with salt fish Therfore sowe Carrets in your Gardens and humbly praise God for thē as for a singuler and great blessing so thus much for the vse and benefit had in the common-wealth by
