me to drill ; as the ridges were from four to near 

 five feet wide, I planted on a part, the 4th of April, 

 Windfor beans, at fix inches diftance in finglerows 

 on a ridge. After being horfe-hoed in May, the 

 intervals were planted with potatoes, which were 

 afterwards horfe-hoed with the beans. My crop is 

 not yet threfhed, therefore cannot afcertain the 

 produce, but it was allowed on infpedlion to be the 

 beft according to the feafon. 



On other parts of the above grounds, I planted 

 dwarf fpeckled kidney-beans, the latter end of 

 May and beginning of June, at three inches dif- 

 tance in fingle rows, fome between the broad beans, 

 others between the four feet rows of potatoes; the 

 latter were much injured by the potatoe haulm, 

 which over-ran the kidney-beans ; the former, 

 having fufficient room between the broad beans, 

 were well kidded, and have every appearance of 

 being produdive. From the length of their hori- 

 zontal roots, and the fpace the branches occupieds 

 I am by experience convinced, they are more pro- 

 dudive by being planted at fix inches diflance in 

 the rows, than if planted nearer. 



I have likewife experienced, that horfe- beans 

 at four inches diftance, in lingle rows about two 

 feet fix to eight inches apart, are much more ad- 

 vantageous
