The Cultivation of 
Broad Beans. — Early 
Mazagan and Dwarf Fan 
Beans may be planted in 
November, and a second sow- 
ing made in February, the rows 
being about 15 inches apart; to 
be followed by the Long-Podded 
and Windsor varieties to secure a 
succession. The later sorts should 
be about 6 inches from plant to plant, 
and 3 feet from row to row. This crop 
succeeds best on deep rich soil in an exposed 
position. On light and dry soils it generally 
gets attacked by the black blight and spoils. 
When the points suffer from this pest it becomes 
imperative to pinch them out and burn them. 
Leviathan Broad Bean. 
We live in an age of leviathans, and the name given the above 
Bean by its introducers, Messrs. Carter & Co., of High llolboin, is 
thoroughly descriptive of what a trial here this season has proved 
it to be. Sown the middle of February, on the same date and under 
the same conditions as two other well - known varieties usually 
acknowledged by kitchen gardeners to be the best of this class, it came in 
an easy first not only in size of pod, but also in the matter of earliness and 
continuous bearing. It certainly outclassed its rivals, commencing to yield 
pods large enough for cooking early in July, and it was from the same row 
we picked our latest dish on August loth. I feel sure a m's variety 
will not fail to give satisfactory returns. — F. R. Castle. — T/ie Garaet.er,
