JAN.] SALLADS. 31 



Of sowing small Sallading. 



Cresses and mustard may now be sown, either on 

 a slight hot-bed, or on the border in front of a 

 stove, as noticed above of carrot ; or they may 

 be sown in boxes, broad pans, or on a pyramid, in 

 the stove or other forcing-house ; or, in the border 

 of an early cherry-house, peach-house, or vinery, 

 now at work. They should be sown once in eight 

 or ten days, in order to have a proper succession ; 

 and a small quantity will do at a time. 



KITCHEN VEGETABLES. 



Of planting Beans. 



IF the early kinds have not been sown, as directed 

 last month, they may now be sown ; and the soon- 

 er in the month the better. Also now plant, for a 

 full crop, of the long-pod or Windsor kinds, in a 

 free and open exposure, in rows twenty-four or 

 thirty inches asunder, and five or six in the row. 

 In free soils, the setting-stick may be used, but in 

 stiff land it is better to drill with the hoe, about 

 three inches in depth.
