Coleflowers to be sown in the waine of Aprill, and to be re∣moved as you would remove Cabages.

Sparagus must be sown in Aprill as afore in a dunged corner, whereas it may not be removed in two years, and as the Sun may come thereto, and it will be the second yeare, or ever you may use it in Sallads, But the first yeare you may gather the Seed, and the next yeare you shall have Sallads thereof, that when you cut it over night, you shall have as much the next day, to serve your turne and it groweth up like a Reed.

White Endive to be sown in the waine of the Moon a fort∣night before Midsummer, and when the Endive is great, you must take it up in a drye day, and make a hundreth holes some∣what wide, and put to every hole a root, good and deep into the ground, and put them close together every root, so as no earth be between the leaves, and set one hundred one week, and as many the next, and so more if you will that may be ready as you shall spend them, and then about Bartholomew tide, or a little before sow more Endive for winter, and use it as be∣fore.

It is good to sow Raddishes before or after Midsommer when you sow Endive, and they will be good in winter.

To sow Cabage coles at Bartholomew tyde, and to take them up in the latter end of February and set them againe, and they will be Cabages at Midsomer.

To set the Plants of Artechokes in the waine of the Moon in March, and you shall have apples of the Plants at Midsomer.

Also to set the seeds of Artechokes as aforesaid, but you must remove them, when they come up, at the least twice, that is to say, in June and after Midsummer, in the waine of the Moon, and water your Artechokes when you remove them and three dayes after. And your Cabages also.

To sow Spinnage after Midsommer, and all Pot hearbs that runneth to seed, and they will serve in winter.
