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, thev are to be sown in the open 
^ound, do not put them in until the first week in May and again in June and July. This is the vegetable for a 
hot and dry season. When thickly mulched and watered they will bear heavily, and deserve all the labour of 
watering afforded them. They shonld be occasionally topped, to iuduce side growth, and if iiossible stakes or 
supports of some kind should be used, as it allows of much finer growth and increased production of pods.
