 pods, which are used in soups, stews, etc., to which they impart 

 a rich flavor, and are considered nutritious. Sow the seed thickly

 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 fine 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 as 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.
