Beans, French or Kidney 
(. Phaseolius vulgaris) . 
Sow in drills 18 inches or 2 feet apart, the poorer the 
soil the closer the rows may be planted. Place the seeds 2 
inches deep with the eye downward and 6 inches apart. A 
succession of sowings may be made from the end of April to 
July. A dressing of equal parts of Clibrans' Phosphate Manure 
and Clibrans’ Potash Manure at the rate ol 2 ozs. to the 
square yard will cause this crop to become much more pro- 
ductive.

Artichoke 
( Cynavia scolyomus) . 
Globe Artichokes, sown in February or March, on an early 
spent hot-bed, can be planted out in May, and will probably 
give some return the same autumn. When sown in April or 
May they will not bear till the following year. The land should 
be carefully dug over and well manured. The addition of 2 
ozs. of Clibrans’ Nitrogen Manure and 1 oz. of Clibrans’ Potash 
Manure to each square yard of the permanent bed will be found 
to have most beneficial action. 1 'or Artichoke Plants and Tubers,
