 the beans three inches apart and two inches deep. 

 If the earth is dry, water the rows before planting. 



WATER-CRESSES, 



Sow seed in a watery, swampy place, and don't cut 

 the cresses the first year, or they may be sown in

GENERAL REMARKS. 



Continue to weed young crops in wet weather ; 

 then the weeds will come up readily by the roots. 

 Water the crops, particularly young ones, in dry wea- 

 ther, twice or thrice a week, before sun-rise and after 

 sun-set. Clear away the stalks and rubbish of old 

 crops. Take showery weather for planting, and dry 

 weather%r earthing up plants. Gather seeds as they 

 ripen, and dry them for laying up. 



ESPALIER FRUIT TREES. 



Straggling shoots lately produced must be cut off — 

 the trained branches and shoots kept well tied to the 

 espaliers, and the earth kept clear of weeds about 

 the trees.
