So^wing and Planting Peas and Beans, 



Put in a few peas and beans in the beginning, middle 

 and latter end of this month, to try the chance of a late 

 crop in September, &c. 



The fmall kinds are propereft to fow and plant now ; 

 fuch as the dwarf peas, charlton and golden kinds, &c. 

 and of beans, chufe the white bloffoms, long pods, fmall . 

 Spaniih. or mazagan beans, and the like forts. 



Let the feme methods be obferved now In fowing and 

 planting thefe crops as advifed laft month. 



Watering, 



Watering fnould at this time, be dulypraftifed, in dry- 

 weather, to all fuch plants as have been lately planted 

 out, till they hai^e taken root. 



This work (hould, at this feafon, be always done in 

 a morning or in an evening. The proper hours are, in 

 a morning, any time between fun-rifing and eight 

 o'clock ; and between the hours of four and eight, or 

 nine in an evening. 



Clear the ground. 



Clear the ground now from the ftalks and leaves of 

 all fuch plants as have done bearing. 



In particular, clear away the felks and leaves of the 

 early crops of cauiiilowers, and let the piece be hoed 

 and made perfectly clear from all manner of rubbilh and 

 weeds. 



Likewife pull up the ftalks and haulm of fuch beans- 

 and peas as have done bearing, and all fuch other plants 

 as are pail: fervice ; clearing away alfo all decayed leaves 

 of cabbages, artichokes, and all fuch like rubbifny lit- 

 ter, which both appear difagreeab'e and afford harbour 

 to noxious vermin : and let all large weeds be at the 

 fame time cl-cared off the ground. 



The ground will then appear neat, -ind will alfo be 

 ready to dig, in order to be fown or planted with au- 

 tumn or winter crops. 



It is alfo a great advantajre to kitchen ground to be 

 timely cleared from the rubbilli ; for the ftalks of fome 

 plants continue to draw nouriih,mGnt ; which, together 

 with the weeds, would greatly cxhaull the ground.
