how_o you_o shall_v better_v and_o improve_v your_o garden_n at_o less_o charge_n and_o this_o i_o esteem_v sufficient_a for_o the_o raise_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o pot_n herb_n and_o pulse_n ●owing_v

if_o you_o be_v ambitious_a to_o have_v the_o best_a salsifix_n garden_n salsifix_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n the_o common_a be_v of_o a_o violet_n colour_n the_o other_o be_v yellow_a this_o be_v the_o

one_o of_o the_o first_o it_o be_v a_o plant_n abundant_o more_o delicious_a than_o the_o common_a salsifix_n and_o have_v pre-eminence_n above_o all_o other_o root_n that_o it_o do_v not_o lie_v in_o

at_o the_o full_a of_o the_o moon_n every_o month_n if_o the_o weather_n be_v fair_a it_o be_v good_a to_o sow_v your_o cabbage_n that_o you_o may_v prevent_v the_o disorder_n which_o these_o

and_o starve_v the_o old_a branch_n which_o in_o defect_n of_o nourishment_n will_v short_o perish_v for_o observe_v this_o as_o a_o maxim_n that_o the_o sap_n do_v always_o apend_v to_o the_o most_o

of_o weather_n by_o which_o oftentimes_o the_o tree_n languish_v and_o the_o small_a root_n become_v dry_a but_o if_o you_o a_o little_a stir_v the_o ground_n before_o you_o apply_v this_o dung_n
