Harlington White Windsor. "To grow: Plant in good, strong, rich soil in January 

 or February for main crop, and from February to May for successive crops. Plant 

 in rows 2 feet to 30 inches apart; when the plants are about 30 inches high cut off 

 the tops; they need no staking. Gather the pods when young, when the seeds are 

 not over three-fourths inch in length. 



"To cook : Use plenty of water, adding a heaped tablespoonful of salt to each half 

 gallon. Shell the beans, put them into boiling water, and boil rapidly until tender — 

 about fifteen minutes for very young beans. Drain them thoroughly, and serve 

 quite separately, but with a sauceboat of parsley sauce as an accompaniment. The 

 beans are excellent with boiled bacon, but they must be cooked alone, never with 

 the meat. If very young they should be cooked filteen minutes ; if older, twenty to 

 twenty-five minutes, but do not overcook them. Half a peck of the pods should 

 yield a good dish. In England they are in season in July and August. 



"Average cost, 6s. per peck." ( Wynne.)
