this Place j but only obferve, ivhen 

 ihe Dung is equally levell'd, to lay 

 the Earth about four or five Inches 

 thick i and lee the great Steam of 

 the Bed pafs off before you fbw the 

 Seeds : The Time for doing this, 

 mufl: be proportion'd to the Scaibn 

 when you would have the Beans for 

 the Table j but the fureft Time for 

 a Crop is about a Week in Icebrti- 

 ary. 



It is alfo a good Method which 

 fome ufe, to have Fr^wr^ Bearis ear- 

 lier than they can be obtain'd in 

 the common Ground, To make a 

 gentle Hot-bed about the Middle of 

 March) which may be arched over 

 with Hoops, and covered with 

 Mats, in this they fbw their Kid- 

 ney-beans in Rows pretty clofe to- 

 gether, fo that a Imall Bed will 

 contain a great Number of Plants , 

 thefe they bring up hardily, inuring 

 'em to the open Air by Degrees; 

 and in the Beginning of Aprily 

 when the Weather is fettled, they 

 prepare fome warm Borders under 

 Walls or Hedges; then they take 

 them up from the Hot-bed, pre- 

 icrving as much Earth as pofllble 

 to their Roots, and plant them in 

 the Borders at the Diftance they are 

 to remain: Thefe, if they take 

 Root kindly, will produce Beans at 

 ieafl a Fortnight before thofe fown 

 in the common Ground. 



The Manner of faving the Seeds 

 of thefe Plants, is to let a few 

 Rows of them remain ungather'd 

 in the Height of the Seafon; for 

 if you gather from the Plants for 

 ibme time, and afterwards leave the 

 Remaining for Seed, their Pods 

 will not be near fo long and hand- 

 fome, nor will the Seed be fo good : 

 In the Autumn, when you find 

 they are ripe, you fhould in a dry 

 Seafbn pull up the Plants, and 

 ipread them abroad to dryj after 



p H 



which, you may threfh; out the 

 Seed, and prefcrve it in a dry Place 

 for Ufe.

The Leaves grow by Fairs oppojlte 

 to each other , and are Ever-green: 

 The Flower conjijis of one Leaf, is

 Tarts at the Top: The Tointal, which' 

 rifes from the Centre of the Flotver- 

 cup, afterwards becomes a fpherical 

 Flower containing one round Seed.

Thefe Plants are moft of them 

 Natives of the Southern Parts of 

 Trance, Spain, and Italy, but are 

 hardy enough to endure the Cold 

 of our Climate in the open Air : 

 They have been formerly in great 

 Requefl . for I^tdges, and to cover 

 Wails ;■ for both which Purpofesthey 

 are very improper; becaul'e they
