2 inches deep, the beans to be 3 inches apart, and the drills 2 to 3 feet apart. The ground dug and well manured. To

seasons, see cultural directions in Teas.

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 and again in Jane 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 should be occasionally topped, to induce side growth, and if possible stakes or 
supports of some kind should be used, as it allows of much finer growth and increased production of pods.
