 three feet asunder, and three inches in the row, and two inches deep, 

 in a dry soil, as early in April as the ground will answer, after the

 flavor as shell beans only. No. 26 is said to be the best of all beans, 

 and fully equals the Lima, but hardier. Plant as soon as the ground 

 will answer, in May or the last of April, in hills four feet asunder, 

 and ten beans in a hill. Plant the Lima beans 10th of May.

 head open, the leaves wrinkled or curled. The crown, or centre, 

 when ameliorated by frost, is cut and boiled ; they are extremely 

 delicate, tender, and sweet. Sow the seeds in April and May, and 

 manage as cabbages. Before winter, transplant to trenches, and
