be_v very_o careful_a to_o ramm_n down_o the_o earth_n close_o about_o the_o basket_n that_o there_o remain_v no_o chink_n or_o hollow_a as_o to_o the_o bigness_n of_o the_o basket_n it_o must_v be_v

three_o or_o four_o inch_n depth_n of_o mould_n between_o the_o end_n of_o the_o root_n and_o the_o brim_n of_o the_o basket_n so_o that_o for_o tree_n design_v for_o wall_n tree_n the_o basket_n need_v not_o be_v so_o large_a as_o otherwise_o because_o those_o tree_n be_v plant_v in_o they_o in_o a_o lean_a posture_n and_o therefore_o lie_v so_o near_o one_o side_n that_o all_o their_o root_n

a_o little_a our_o artichoke_n which_o will_v be_v pernicious_a in_o wet_a ground_n because_o it_o will_v rot_v the_o artichoke_n plant_n it_o be_v convenient_a to_o let_v the_o artichoke_n alone_o

in_o case_n the_o frost_n return_v at_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o the_o month_n before_o the_o frost_n be_v come_v we_o make_v a_o end_n of_o tie_v up_o our_o endive_n that_o be_v big_a enough_o
