This plant, being of a moift, co!d nature, is by mu.ny 

 people much eiteemed to ufe in fummer fallads. 



Beans. 

 Plant more beans : this fhould be done at three different 

 times this month, allowing twelve or fourteen days be- 

 tween each time of planting. 



The long-podded beans are a proper kind to plant at

Any other forts of beans required to increafe the va-
