The principal cause of these garden Beans not succeed- 
ing well in this country, is the summer heat overtaking them 
before they are podded, which causes the blossom to drop 
off prematurely; to obviate this difficulty, they should be 
planted as early in the year as possible ; as recommended 
in the article, “ Forwarding Broad Beans.” They are 
generally planted in England, from October to April, for 
early crops, and from that time to July, for late crops. It 
sometimes happens that autumn plantings are injured by the 
coldness of their winters, but an average crop is generally 
obtained. 
In the Eastern, Western, and Middle States, if a few of 
the best varieties of these Beans be planted in the open 
ground, as soon in the season as it can be brought into good 
condition, they will come into bearing in regular succession, 
according to their different degrees of earliness, and plant- 
ings may be repeated every ten days of the first spring 
month ; but it is only from those that are planted early that 
any tolerable produce can be expected, as they become defi- 
cient in quality, as well as in quantity, on the approach of 
3xtreme warm weather. 
In the Southern States they maj re planted in succession 
throughout the autumn and winter months, which will cause 
them to bear early in the ensuing season. 
The best mode of planting is in drills, drawn two inches 
dceo, in which the seed Beans may be dropped two or three
