 soups. ^tew.s, 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, 1 inch deep; thin to 10 inches apart in drills. 



Dwarf Green Prolific. This vegetable is too little grown, as its pods impart 

 a fme flavor and consistency to soups and stews, besides being very palatable 

 when stewed and served like a dish of asparagus. The pods can be easily 

 dried for winter. It is universally used through the South and is as easily 

 raised ms a weed in the North. So delicious is the flavor that when once 

 used it will be grown every year in Northern as in Southern gardens.
