New ‘Principles .of Gardening. 
than thofe fet with the Dibber, and not tranfplanted’ after- 
wards. 
In March when your Beans are in full Bloffom pinch of 
their Tops, and carefully cut away all Suckers that may break 
out, and grow from the bottom of their Roots; which if 
carefully perform’d, .as they firft appear will caufe the mother 
Stem or Stalk to fet its Bloom and produce its Beans a fort- 
night or three Weeks fooner than if let run, without being 
top’d and {ucker’d. | 
And:as foon as the Stalks are clearéd of their Beans, pull 
them up, and clear the Ground; or if you cut them down 
clofe to the Ground, they will break out again, and produce 
a fecond Crop. 
By the time thofe planted under your Walls are gone, the 
others planted from the Walls will fucceed, and produce {uch a 
plentiful Crop, as will afford a very confiderable fupply to 
a Family. And that our Table may be always furnith’d ; 
‘tis beft to plant fome others in open Quarters, at different 
Times, vzz. Some about the middle of December, other about 
the middle of Fanuary, and again about the middle of Febry- 
ary, at which time we may begin to plant our noble large Bean, 
called the Wiudfor Garden Bean, and continue Plantations 
thereof during the Months of March, April, May and June: 
And if the Weather happens to be very dry at any of thofeé 
Times of Planting, ‘tis beft to foak the Beans in Water before 
they are planted, as alfo to water the Drills wherein they are 
fown; for in thefe hot Months, ’tis better to drop them in 
Drills at five or fix Inches apart, than to plant them with Dib- 
bers, as in the Spring. 
If the Seafons continue very hot, be fure to let them have 
Water enough, and particularly when in Bloflom and Fruit, 
‘twill very well anfwer your Labour. ;
