Cultivation.— Tliis highly nutritious vegetable grows well in any gootli 
garden soil, but responds readily to liberal treatment and should, theie- 
fore, when possible, be grown in well-prepared ground which has received 
a good supply of manure. Tho cultivation is of the easiest and cveryboc y 
should be able to grow them successfully. „ , , , 
The earliest sowing should bo made in February with our Selected 
Long-Pod,” this being one of the earliest and best sorts. For tho mam 
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 b inches- 
apart in the rows, earth up tho plants by drawing tho soil around them . 
when they are about C inches high, give a good covering of ashes to keep 
off tho 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. ... i 
A liberal supply of liquid manure given at intervals during the bearing 
season will add much to the size of tho pods, as also will a mulching ot 
decayed manure, if put on before the hot weather comes.
