tempting and delicious dish. The pods are 5

Plant in boxes in February 
or March, cover inch deep, 
and transplant outside in 
May, 18 inches apart, in 2 or 
3-foot rows. When the ground 
becomes warm, and until 
July, plant outside for a late 
crop. Cultivate well and keep 
free of weeds. Hen manure, 
or a good garden fertilizer, if 
worked into the soil when the 
plants are six inches high, 
will materially increase the 
yield.
