Planting early Beans, 



TIT E middle or latter end of this month, you may 

 plant fome beans, for an early crop the fucceed- 

 ing fummer. 



I'hofe which are planted now, if they furvive the win- 

 ter's froft, &c. will come in for ufe the end of May or be^ 

 ginning of June. 



The mazagan bean is the bell to plant at this feafon, 

 for rhey will come earlier than any other, and are excel- 

 lent bearers, though but of humble growth j they will 

 ftand the winter better than the larger forts. 



A warm border under a fouth wall, or other fouth 

 fence, is the bell fituation to plant thefe beans in at this 

 feafon. 



Plant them in rows acrofs the border ; that is, pro- 

 vided the border is five or fix feet wide; and obferving 

 that the rows are to be two feet and a half afunder, 

 which will be room enough for this fort^ and the beans 

 to be planted about three inches diftant in the rows, and 

 an inch and half deep. 



You may alfo plant one row lengthways of the border, 

 within two inches of the wall ; thefe will fometimes out- 

 live the winter, when thofe at a greater diftance from 

 the wall are cut off. 



But if the border is narrow, you had better plant two 

 rows only, lengthways of the border; that is, one row 

 near the wall, and the other two feet and a half from it. 



They may be planted either with a blunt dibbJe, puC^ 

 ting them in an inch and a half, or near two inches deep ; 

 or you may draw drills that depth, and drop the beans 

 therein ; drawing rhe earth an equal depth over them. 



Jn planting early beans, it often proves very fuccefs- 

 ful firft to fow the beans prety thick in a bed of rich 

 earth;. and when come up a little height, tranfpiant 

 Jthem into the borders.
