PEACHES VINERIES, &C. 209 



rhubarb for tarts, kidney beans, small salading, 

 cucumbers, &c., may be sowed in pots, or boxes, 

 and may be introduced as may be required, 

 or convenient from November until April ; 

 but I would recommend small portions only, 

 for very early forcing ; but in January and 

 February, kidney beans, and cucumbers, with 

 many other esculents, may be admitted into 

 the hothouse, for good early crops, without 

 fear of success, and a further supply introduced 

 every three or four weeks, till April, of such 

 as may be required, which will then be suc- 

 ceeded by crops in the natural way in the open 

 ground. 



Pots may also be introduced, containing the 

 roots of tarragon mint, tansey, &c. ; and occa- 

 sionally in the borders of the house, may be 

 raised some early dwarf peas, mazagan beans, 

 and lettuce plants, for early use ; also kidney 

 beans, mazagan beans, and dwarf, early peas, 

 may be sown thick, in large pots, and placed 

 in the forcing house, late in the winter, or 

 early in spring, and remain there till they have 

 grown an inch or two high, for transplanting
