0}7ions afid Leeks. 



About the middle, or latter end of this month, you may 

 .get fome ground ready for fowing onions and leeks. 



Choofe a piece for each where the ground is good, and 

 not too wet ; and if you dig feme good rotten dung in, it 

 will be of great advantage to the plants. Either divide 

 the ground into four or iive feet wide beds, or fow the 

 feed in one continued compartment: fow it in a dry day, 

 on the rough furface, moderately thick-, and as regularly 

 as poiTible ; then tread them down evenly, and rake them 

 in with regularity. 



Or there may be a thin fprinkling of leek-feed fown 

 with the onions, the onions being generally at their full 

 growth, and drawn oft, in the middle of AuguH ; the 

 leeks will then have full fcope, and grow to a large {\zc. 



But when it is intended to fow leeks, in order to be af- 

 terwards tranfplanted into another fpot, they ihould be 

 fown feparately, and pretty thick, in beds about four feet 

 broad. 



The leeks are generally fit to tranfplant in June and 

 July. Obferve the diredions there given. 



In fowing onions and leeks, let the fame rule be ob- 

 ferved now as diredled in March ; that is, with regard to 

 the neceffity of treading and not treading in the (ttdy and 

 of the neceffity in particular cafes of dividing the ground 

 into beds, &c. 



Planthtg Beans. 



Dig an open fpot of ground the beginning of this month 

 for a crop of beans. Windfor, Toker, and Sandwich, and 

 other large beans, are the propercft to plant at this feafork 

 for full crops. Plant thefe large beans in rows a full yard 

 afunder, and plant them five or fix inches diftant in the 

 row. 



You may alfo plant any of the fmaller kinds of beans, if 

 required. Several of them are great bearers ; fuch as the 

 long-pods, Mumford's, white-bloiTomed, broad Spanilh, 

 and the like kinds. See the catalogue ; planting them in 

 rows two feet and a half, or a yard afunder, either by dib- 

 ble, or drill them in three inches deep.
