The Places and Time.

All the sorts of Onions are Inhabitants of the Garden, and prosper best in that ground, which is well digged and dunged. I know not whether they grew na∣turally, or in Gardens about Ascalon, a City of Judea; but that they were former∣ly very plentifull in those parts, I am verily perswaded. Those that are sown for store should be sown in February, or before the latter end of March at the furthest, in the increase of the Moon, and are to be gathered about August, when the blades begin to be flagged towards the roots. Those which are for seed must be set at the same time when the former are sown, yet it seldome comes to per∣fection in our own Country, most of the seed we use coming from beyond the Seas.
