When the dung is fit for ufe, make It up into a bed 

 four feet broad, and as long as you have framing ; level 

 the fame well, covering it witli ten inches of light vir- 

 gin-earth ; then lay on your glafs frames to be raifed in 

 the day time to carry off the fteam ; when the bed is in 

 a moderate warmth, lift the peafe with a fcooped trowel, 

 fo as to have a ball of earth to their roots, then plant 

 them in the bed fourteen inches row from row, and four 

 plant from plant. Give them at this time a moderate 

 watering, but be very fparing of it afterwards : Ob- 

 ferving to {hade them from eleven o'clock, until the fun 

 is near off, giving them air in mild weather, and cover- 

 ing the dung with earth, which furrounds the outfideof 

 the frame; to keep down its rancid fleam fo very preju-

 feet liigh in the back, Hoping to fifteen inches in front.

 beans in the fame manner, with this difference, that 1

 derate hot-bed, fixing fmall (licks by them for their ten- 

 drils to climb upon, which I pinched as foon as I perceived 

 them to run too much to vine, and not bloffom or fruit in 

 proportion to their flrength. In moderate weather, they 

 mull: have abundance of air given them, otherwife they 

 will die away. Thefe beans I have had for the table 

 hy the 20th of March.

 _^ and hot-bed work, I fliall proceed to direO: the 

 management of fuch fruit, as I planted upon paled walls, 

 which I forced with well tempered dung, laid to the 

 rear of thefe wooden walls five feet thick at bottom, 

 floping to two and a half at the top, and laid clofc to the 

 wall with a fork, but not preiTed down ; to be covered
