BROAD BEANS (Faba vulgaris). 
CULTURE • — For an early crop a sowing of M uzaqun 
may be made in October or November , on well drained soil. The 
main crop should be sown in February, others may follow up to the 
end of May. Sow in drills, about 2 inches deep, the beans to be 
3 inches apart and the drills 2 to 3 feet apart. The ground 
should be trenched and well manured. p er f j Uart _

RUNNER BEANS 
(Phaseolus multiflorus). 
CULTURE • — It is a common mistake to plant these too 
early. Sowings may be made in April, under glass, and the plants 
put out about the middle of May where they are to stand. If, 
however, they are to be sown in the open ground, do not put them 
in until the first week in May. This is the vegetable, far a hot 
and dry season. When thickly mulched and watered, they will 
bear heavily and deserve all the labour of watering afi'orded 
them. They should be occasionally topped, to induce side growth.

New White, Laxton’s Czar. -By far the largest and 
best in the world. The true variety sent out by 
T. Laxton is an enormous podded white runner 
Bean, the pods of which run from 12 to 16 inches 
in length, are very thick, fleshy, aud almost string- 
less, often 2 inches in diameter, and produced in 
clusters. It is also somewhat earlier and hardier 
than the Scarlet Runner. The tendency of the 
Czar is to form thick fleshy pods and few seeds, 
aud no other Bean approximates this for size, 
quality, and productiveness. The stock of this has 
for several years been grown continuously from the finest pods oulv, and although the 
pods reach an immense size, the flavour is extremely delicate. Per pkt. Is. lid.
