The Manner of making the Hot-bed being the fame as for Cucumbers, &c. need not be repeated in this Place: but only obferve, when the Dung is equally levell’d, to lay the Earth about four or five Inches thick ; and let the great Steam of the Bedpafs off before you fowthe Seeds : The Time for doing this, muft be proportion’d to the Seafon when you would have the Beans for the Table ; but the fureft Time for a Crop, is about a Week in February.

The Manner of faving the Seeds of thefe Plants, is to let a few Rows of them remain ungather’d in the Height of the Seafon ; for if you gather from the Plants for fome time, and afterwards leave the Remaining for Seed, their Pods will not be near fo long and handfome, nor will the Seed be fo good: In the Autumn, when you find they are ripe, you fhould in a dry Seafon pull up the Plants, and fpread themabroad to dry ; after which, you may thrafh out the Seed, and preferve it in a dry Place for Ufe. 4.
