So confident were they that they would be unable to start from Katunga, for a month to come at the earliest, that they had not only sowed cress and onion seed the day after their arrival, which were already springing up, but they had actually made up their minds to abide there during the continuance of the rains.
Go to the nearest brook, gather a sprig or two of the water cress, which spreads so rapidly, a root of the eel grass, and plant them in a glass dish or deep jar. The eggs are then laid, and the last of June, or early in July, the slug-like larvæ mature, and the perfect insects fly in July.
Sending Manuel in pursuit, and leaving Tomas at the camp, Crawford, Cress, and I ran for the break of benchland, to reach and aid Thornton. Nearing it, all three dropped flat, and crawled to its edge, just in time to see George make a neat snap shot at a Lipan midway of a flying leap over a log, and drop him dead.
"Do you mane we are to grow cabbages here, Teddy?" Captain O'Halloran asked, with a burst of laughter. "No, I wouldn't grow cabbages. I would just grow mustard, and cress, and radishes.
The little garden on the roof was the envy of all Carrie's female friends many of whom, indeed, began imitations of it, on a small scale. Under the hot sun, and with careful watering, everything made astonishing progress. The cutting of the mustard and cress had, of course, begun in little more than a week from the time when the garden had been completed, and the seeds sown.
A salad of this kind may be readily raised on a piece of thick woollen-cloth, if the seeds are strewed thereon and kept damp; a convenient mode practised at sea on long voyages. Cress and rap may be raised in the same manner. ONION. Allium oleraceum. The kinds of onions in cultivation are, The Deptford. The Reading. The White Spanish. The Portugal. The Globe, and The Silver skinned.
Cyril had sown the letters of his name in mustard and cress, which were just coming up fresh and green, and would soon be ready to cut. He also had some bulbs under pieces of glass in a corner which he called his hothouse. Ralph and Leonard were so busy at school that their gardens appeared to be mostly cared for by Rhoda, who had a very ambitious scheme for her own.
In the shadows the brook seems to have a more solemn tone, in keeping with its somber surroundings, singing its song to the white-petaled saxifrage that peeps out at it over the bed of maidenhair fern, or the bright-leaved water cress; then flashing out into the sunlight, and, like a boy out of school, romping and laughing in utter abandon.
No college freshman on his first holiday ever acted more outrageously. He sang ancient college songs that reverberated in the canyon like yells on a football field. He stood solemnly on his head on the top of rock pinnacles. He crowned himself and Jim with wreaths made of water cress that he found on a tiny sandy beach.
Leaves, that is leave, that is look in 6 pieces, six pieces and a kitchen, a kitchen when, in guarding, in guarding what, a kitchen. All I say is begin. A lake particular salad. Wet cress has points in a plant when new sand is a particular. Frank, frank quay. Set of keys was, was. Lead kind in soap, lead kind in soap sew up. Lead kind in so up. Lead kind in so up. Leaves a mass, so mean. No shows.
