MARCH. 



PLANTING BEANS. 



Plant beans af any kind, for all sorts succeed well from this 

 time of planting ; now plant full supplies of the best sorts for 

 principal crops. 



This is still a proper time to plant the Windsor, Toker, and 

 Sandwich, and the long-podded bean, which is a great bearer. 

 The smaller kinds may also be planted any time this month, 

 being plentiful bearers ; among which, the white-blossom kind 

 is a peculiarly fine eating bean. 



Some of the most approved of the above sorts put into the 

 ground every fortnight, will afford a regular supply during 

 the season. 



Plant the large kind of beans in rows a yard asunder, and 

 the lesser kinds, thirty inches between the rows. But, if it 

 be intended to plant savoys or cabbage-plants between them, 

 the rows, for all the sorts, should be a yard and a half apart. 



Transplant the beans sown in pots or boxes, as previously 

 recommended. Take them carefully out of the boxes, or pots, 

 separate them so as not to injure the roots, draw drills four 

 inches deep, place the plants six inches apart in the rows, and 

 from two to three feet between the lines ; fill in the mould 

 round the stems, and give a little water, if the weather be dry, 

 to settle the mould about the roots. Shade or protect them 

 for a few days with branches. The beans recommended to be 

 sown thick in the borders in autumn, if they have stood the 

 winter, should now be transplanted, as has been formerly 

 directed. 



SOWING PEAS. 



Sow marrowfat peas once a fortnight or three weeks at far- 

 thest, particularly some dwarf green imperial marrowfats, which 

 are a most excellent eating pea. 



Or, in sowing peas, it is a good rule, when the plants ot 

 a former sowing are coming up, to sow another crop of the
