Cultivation. — These succeed best in a deep, stiff, loamy 
soil, moderately enriched, and once the seed is sown require little 
attention, beyond earthing the plants up well by drawing the soil 
freely against them on' either side, when the young plants are a 
few inches high. Immediately tho plants have ceased blooming 
pinch off tho points beyond the blooms, and should the weather 
prove very dry it will conduce to more quick cropping to damp 
the blooms over with water from a syringe, or otherwise. Early 
Mazagan and Long-pod varieties should bo sown in November and 
again in February and March for early crops. Sow also at tho 
same time during the latter mouths Daniels’ Norfolk Giant, 
tho best of all Broad Beaus, Windsor, and Seville Long-pod, or 
other main crop varieties.- Draw drill rows deeply, or about 
three inches deep, with a wide hoe, and plant the seeds in two 
rows, at about half-a-foot distance in each row apart, and each at 
right angles with the associate row. Sow the dwarfs in row's 
eighteen inches apart, and the tall varieties thirty inches apart.
