The Feate of Gardeninge.

Ho so wyl a gardener be
Here he may both hyre & se
Euery tyme of the ȝere & of the mone
And how the crafte schall be done
Yn what maner he schall delue & sette
Bothe yn drowthe and yn wette
How he schall hys sedys sowe
Of euery moneth he most knowe
Bothe of wortys and of leke
Ownyns and of garleke
Percely clarey and eke sage
And all other herbage.
