 better than the white blofTom, fmall Spanidi, long pods, 

 miimford, mazagau, and the like kinds ; 1 have gathered

 of the bell kinds of the hotfyur and dwarf peas. 



Obferve, that if the weather and ground be very dry,, 

 it will be proper to foak the peas and beans in watei- for a 

 few hours. Let the water be taken from a pond or river,,
