Leviathan Broad 
Bean. 
We live in an age of leviathans, 
and the name given the above liean 
by its introducers, Messrs. Carter & Co., 
of High IIol born, is thoroughly des- 
criptive of what a trial here this season 
has proved 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 lo 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 trial of this variety will not 
fail to give satisfactory returns. — F. R. CASTi.it. — The

The Cultivation of Broad Beans. — Early Mazagan 
and Dwarf Fan Beans may be planted in November, 
and a second sowing 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.
