Beans will thrive on any soil sufficiently stiff, and are advantageous to the farmer, as one of those hoeing crops, which pay the expence of fallowing and cleaning his land. When a wheat crop is intended to succeed beans, it is plainly of importance to sow these as early as is practicable, and evenanautumnalsowing would be preferable, both in point of produce and early harvest, could a mild winter be insured; but in case of severe frost, all the beans not well and deeply covered with snow, would perish.
