Beans, 



In the beginning of this month, if the weather is open, 

 lee fome ground be got ready for a principal crop of broad 

 beans. The principal large foits are : 



Sandwich bean, toker bean, Windfor bean, broad Spa- 

 nifli bean, broad long-podded bean. 



The Sandwich bean is an excellent fort, and may be 

 planted the firft week in this month, if the weather permits. 

 Alfo the toker bean, which is very fine, and a good bearer. 

 Let the rows be three feet diflant from each other, and fet 

 the beans either by a blunt ended dibble, two or three 

 inches deep, or drill them in that depth j and about four 

 or five inches afunder in the rows. 



A few Windfor beans may be planted about the fame 

 time ; but the main crop had better be deferred till after the 

 middle of the month. Let the rows be a yard afunder, and , 

 plant the beans five or fix inches a-part in the rows. 



You may, however, In this month plant alfo the broad 

 Spanifh, long-podded, or any fort of garden beards that are 

 moft approved of, either for tamily ufeor market. And if 

 fome fmall early beans were not planted before Chrifimas, 

 or have fuft'ered by the froft, let fome more of the fame kinds 

 be now planted the firft opportunity of mild open weather, 

 either clofe together, for tranfplanting, or at once in rows 

 two or three feet afunder, where they are to remain. 



For the early crops of beans, fee 0^oi>er and Novevibei\ 



Peas, 



Let fome hot-fpur peas be fown the beginning of this 

 month, for a full crop, on a warm piece of ground, to fuc- 

 ceed the fame forts which was fown in November or Decem- 

 ber : the forts are ; 



Charlton hot-fpur, golden hot-fpur, Efl!ex hot-fpur, 

 Mafter's hot-fpur, &c. 



But the two firft are the earlieft, and the otheis are pro- 

 per to fucceed them. Sow each fort In rows, a yard afun- 

 der : but if the ground is rich, and you intend to fet fticks 

 to them, to climb upon for fupport, let the rows be three 

 feet and a half afunder. 



At the fame time alfo, you may fow the firft crop ot 

 marrowfat peas, and they will fucceed the hot-fpurs ; for 

 they will come into bearing as the others go off. This 

 pea is much admired in moil families ; bat the dvv'arf mar-
