BUSH BEANS. 



Thirty-five varieties of bush beans were planted May 25 and 26. Moat 

 of the varieties made a good stand of plants, and bore a large crop of pods. 

 The wet season made the plants and pods rust badly. Little, if any, differ- 

 ence was noticeable as to amount of rust on one variety as compared with 

 another. The rust attacked the pods after the time they would be gathered 

 for string beans, so little injury was done. In the plat of varieties each 

 sort was thinned to thirty stalks, four inches apart. The last column in 

 the table below gives the average weight of pods, computed from the 

 thirty plants, for each sort grown. The pods wero gathered when at the 

 fullest development for string beans.
