 This vegetable is becoming extensively grown. The long young pods of this plant 

 are used in soups, stews, etc., to which they impart a rich flavor and are considered 

 nutritious. Sow the seed thickly in rich ground about the middle of May, or when 

 the ground has become warm, in drills 3 feet apart and 1 inch deep ; thin out to 10 

 inches apart in the drills. Hoe often, and earth up a little to support the stems. 

 The very young pods can be gathered and dried for winter use.
