The Illustrated Guide for Amateur Gardeners 
Broad Beans. 
Cultivation. — These sucoeed best in a deep, stiff, loamy 
soil, moderately enriched, and once the seed is sown require little 
attention, beyond earthing tho plants up well by drawing the soil 
freely against them on either side, when the young plants are a 
few inches high. Immediately the plants have ceased blooming 
pinch off the 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 be sown in November and 
again in February and March for early crops. Sow also at 
tho same time during the latter months Daniels’ Norfolk Giant, 
tho best of all Broad Beans, Windsor, and Seville Long-pod, or 
other main crop varieties. Draw drill rows 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 two rows at about 
two feet apart. Sow tho dwarfs in rows eighteen inches apart, 
and the tall varieties thirty inches apart.
