Of the above two tribes of kidney-beans» 

 Dwarfs and Runners, the former are of low 

 buihy growth, ten or twelve to eighteen inches 

 high ; the latter run with !ong flender twining 

 flalks, feveral feet high upon proper fupport, 

 and require tall llicks or poles to climb upon, 

 or planted near walls, &c. and have lines fuf- 

 pended from above, on which to afcend in 

 their twining growth. But for confiderable 

 principal crops, the Dwarfs are moft eligible, 

 as not requiring any fupport, and in general 

 the beans are moil efteemed for the principal 

 fupply ; though it is alfo proper to have mo- 

 derate crops of the Runners, efpecially of the 

 Scarlet and large White, for their very pro- 

 lific property and long continuance in bear- 

 ing; the pods thick, flefhy, tender and good, 

 while young. The Dutch Runner is alfo a 

 great bearer, with fine long flefhy pods, but 

 not near fo durable in bearing as the two former. 



The dw?rf kidney-beans are fowed every 

 month, from April till July, or beginning of 

 Auguft, to obtain a conllant fucceiTiou of 

 young pods during the proper feafon, as one 

 crop continues only about three or four weeks 

 in good bearing. 



For the firil: crops, have feed of fome early 

 dwarf kinds, orof the Canterbury, Batterfea, or 

 fpeckled dwarfs, and of which may fow a mo- 

 derate portion the bcginningor middle ofApril, 

 if dry.fettled mild weather, in a warm dry bor- 

 der, or other compartment ; for the beans, be- 

 ing tender, are very apt to rot at this feafon, if 

 a cold or wet foil, or much rain falling after 

 (hey are fowed, therefore fow a larger crop
