later forts, the IVindfor ftands firft, as to general efti- 

 mation, for eating; but it is in raoft foils rather an idle 

 bearer. The hfigptiU atid Sandwich, however, are pre- 

 ferred by foine, chiefly as more fruitful. Trials mult 

 determine tafle; but it may be obferved, that the ivhitc 

 bkjjbm beau is a very good one, if eat young. 



Clofe under a warm wall (to which they mould be 

 kept by packthread) fome mazagans may be put in the 

 ground early in Oclobcr ; but at the latter end, and the 

 beginning of November^ fureft, when they commonly 

 fucceed at fome diftarrce from the wall, earthing them 

 up regularly as they proceed in growth. Crop the tops 

 oif as foon as the lower bloffoms are lull out, or begin 

 to fade. This forwards them. 



Put the [mall forts of beans in three inches deep, and 

 four afunder, in lingle rows ; or fix inches afunder 

 every way, in double rows; and let the rows, in the 

 firft cafe, be two and a half, and in the latter, three 

 feet afunder. 



There is a dwarf 'bean (by fome called the fcn-clujlcr'} 

 that grows but a few inches high, which is very con- 

 venient to put in, clofe under a Jcuth wall, in October* 

 and they Will thus be but a few days (if any) later than 

 the mazagan fown in November. 



*Tis a good way to fow patches of beans in a warm 

 corner to ft and the winter, placing them about an 

 inch from one another, and iranfplanting them at the 

 above diftances, tire firft mild weather after Mid- 

 February or in March, to any fneltered part of the 

 garden, and if under a fouth wall (not too near) it will 

 forward them, efpecially if watered in a dry time. 

 Beans, fown m patches, may be eafily covered in fevere 

 w r eather, by a frame, &c. Make trenches to lay them 

 in when tranfplanted ; pull not off the bean adhering 

 to the Toots, fhorten them a little, and put them in 

 rather highly covered over the {hanks. If planted 

 aflant, they will foon get ereft; but this is only per-
