BEANS— Broad. 
Cultivation. — This highly nutritious vegetable grows well in any good) 
! garden soil, but responds readily to liberal treatment and should, therefore. 
when possible, be grown in well-prepared ground which has received a good. 
■ supply of manure. The cultivation is of the easiest and everybody should 
le able to grow them successfully. 
The earliest sowing should be made in February with our “Selectedi 
Long Pod,’’ this being one of the earliest and best sorts. For the main 
crop, sow in March and for a succession in April. 
The seed should be sown in double rows 0 inches apart, with an inter- 
vening space of 3 feet between the pairs of rows ; place the seed 0 inches- 
i a part in the rows, earth up the plants by drawing the soil around them,- 
| when they are about G inches high, give a good covering of ashes to keep 
off the slugs. 
When the plants have made a good growth and set a nice quantity of 
bloom, the centres should be nipped out, thereby throwing more vigour 
into the pods. 
A liberal supply of liquid manure given at intervals during the bearing 
i season will add much to the size of the pods, as also will a mulching of 
decayed manure, if put on before the hot weather comes. 
The Windsor varieties whilst not giving such long pods are of excellent, 
flavour ; the best varieties for exhibition purposes are Daniels’ Norfolk: 
Giant Long-pod, which produces the finest pods of any of the long-podded 
sections, and Daniels’ Mammoth Windsor, which is by far the best of ita> 
j class.
