high_a from_o the_o earth_n as_o need_v shall_v require_v by_o the_o grow_a of_o the_o branch_n gird_v some_o high_a than_o other_o some_o then_o short_o after_o you_o must_v have_v stake_n in_o a_o

there_o be_v three_o kind_n of_o carrot_n two_o of_o they_o be_v profitable_a and_o the_o three_o be_v not_o the_o great_a long_o yellow_a carrot_n and_o the_o great_a short_a carrot_n be_v

for_o seed_n when_o time_n serve_v if_o you_o do_v make_v choice_n of_o the_o best_a carrot_n and_o set_v they_o for_o seed_n as_o aforesaid_a than_o your_o seed_n be_v very_o bad_a and_o not_o

preserve_v for_o seed_n in_o the_o new_a of_o the_o moon_n of_o the_o first_o ripe_a cabadge_n and_o so_o let_v they_o grow_v to_o bear_v seed_n the_o year_n follow_v and_o that_o seed_n will_v be_v as_o good_a as_o may_v be_v whatsoever_o be_v say_v to_o the_o contrary_a and_o if_o you_o desire_v to_o have_v much_o cabadge_n seed_v to_o sow_v and_o to_o sell_v then_o your_o best_a way_n be_v to_o provide_v some_o place_n in_o the_o garden_n where_o the_o shadow_n of_o they_o may_v do_v least_o harm_n to_o other_o seed_n or_o fruit_n then_o prepare_v the_o ground_n in_o narrow_a bed_n

of_o august_n you_o may_v as_o you_o rid_v the_o ground_n of_o carrot_n sow_v turnip_n seed_n or_o radish_n seed_n in_o their_o place_n so_o that_o you_o have_v the_o best_a kind_n of_o turnip_n

away_o for_o the_o loss_n be_v not_o great_a and_o in_o this_o manner_n you_o may_v have_v timely_o close_a and_o hard_a cabadge_n also_o it_o be_v a_o principal_a time_n to_o sow_v cabadge_n in_o february_n or_o march_n three_o or_o four_o day_n before_o the_o full_a of_o the_o moon_n as_o aforesaid_a then_o sow_v the_o seed_n very_o thin_a in_o row_n and_o keep_v they_o clean_o from_o weed_n and_o when_o they_o be_v fair_a and_o large_a to_o plant_v in_o may_n or_o about_o the_o first_o of_o june_n be_v best_a to_o plant_v they_o three_o or_o four_o day_n before_o the_o full_a of_o the_o moon_n and_o if_o necessity_n do_v compel_v you_o it_o will_v serve_v the_o whole_a quarter_n after_o the_o full_a of_o the_o moon_n and_o also_o as_o they_o grow_v from_o time_n to_o time_n take_v

to_o the_o close_n of_o the_o cabadge_n and_o when_o the_o first_o plant_v cabadge_n be_v ripe_a sell_v or_o spend_v they_o short_o for_o within_o fourteen_o day_n after_o they_o be_v hard_a they_o will_v grow_v so_o fast_o within_o that_o they_o will_v rend_v and_o cleave_v a_o sunder_o and_o so_o perish_v and_o rot_v and_o when_o your_o cabadge_n do_v ripe_a and_o be_v hard_o sell_v they_o or_o spend_v they_o for_o there_o be_v small_a profit_n to_o keep_v they_o because_o the_o snail_n and_o other_o worm_n do_v pierce_v they_o daily_o but_o those_o which_o do_v close_o far_o in_o the_o year_n in_o september_n and_o october_n may_v be_v better_o keep_v in_o winter_n for_o your_o purpose_n but_o of_o all_o worm_n or_o caterpillar_n knave_n which_o be_v the_o great_a devourer_n of_o cabadge_n and_o do_v consume_v many_o of_o they_o at_o one_o time_n those_o caterpillar_n do_v never_o repent_v until_o they_o come_v to_o tyburn_n or_o the_o gallows_n therefore_o take_v good_a care_n to_o your_o enclosure_n for_o your_o better_a safety_n for_o sow_v of_o parsenep_n and_o best_a use_v of_o they_o some_o will_v sow_v parsenep_a seed_n at_o michael_n tide_n to_o have_v

to_o sow_v many_o in_o that_o order_n but_o a_o few_o for_o novelty_n but_o to_o sow_v to_o have_v best_a profit_n as_o when_o the_o weather_n be_v fair_a in_o february_n or_o in_o march_n sow_v your_o parsenep_n not_o respect_v the_o age_n of_o the_o moon_n but_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o weather_n and_o when_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o weed_n have_v care_n to_o weed_n they_o clean_o in_o

if_o you_o do_v sow_v your_o parsnep_n in_o rigols_n as_o my_o accustom_a manner_n be_v it_o be_v best_o for_o your_o purpose_n and_o profit_n and_o this_o kind_n of_o sow_v in_o rigols_n do_v save_o

and_o as_o they_o do_v grow_v ripe_a about_o midsummer_n draw_v the_o great_a first_o to_o make_v they_o thin_a all_n over_o &_o when_o they_o be_v of_o any_o greatness_n sell_v or_o spend_v they_o

perfect_a good_a the_o best_a mean_n to_o have_v principal_a close_a lettuce_n
and_o to_o have_v they_o as_o timely_a as_o be_v possible_a the_o first_o of_o september_n or_o within_o fouretéene_a day_n then_o next_o after_o be_v best_a to_o take_v your_o lettice_a seed_n and_o

keep_v they_o clean_o from_o weed_n and_o you_o shall_v have_v timely_a lettuce_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v i_o have_v yearly_o such_o close_a or_o cabbage_n lettuce_n better_a can_v be_v have_v and_o

of_o they_o be_v a_o reasonable_a dish_n for_o a_o table_n and_o as_o white_a as_o be_v possible_a and_o many_o do_v say_v the_o like_a lettuce_n be_v not_o to_o be_v have_v in_o london_n and_o i_o

they_o will_v more_o easy_a and_o soon_o be_v pinch_v then_o cut_v then_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o bean_n so_o pinch_v or_o cut_v will_v stand_v stiff_a of_o themselves_o that_o there_o need_v no_o
