These succeed well in almost any well-worked soil. Plant when the weather has become warm,

 inches. For succession, plant every two we-jks from the first of May till August. Hoe often, but 

 never when the vines are wet as the pods would become discolored. One quart of seed is sufficient 

 .for one hundred feet of drill ; two bushels for one acre in drills.
