Peas should be plantod about two to 

 three inches deep in rows three to four 

 feet apart. Some gardeners, however, 

 follow the practice of planting in dou- 

 ble rows six inches apart, with the 

 ordinary space of three to four feet 

 between these pairs of rows. With 

 varieties requiring support this is a 

 good practice, as the supports can be 

 placed in the narrow space between the 

 rows. 



Beans are more susceptible to cold 

 than peas and should not be planted 

 until danger of frost is past and the 

 ground begins to warm up. They are, 

 however, among the most desirable 

 vegetables that the home gardener can 

 raise. There are many different kinds 

 and varieties of beans, but for garden 

 purposes they may be divided into two 

 classes — string and lima. Both classes 

 are grown commercially over the 

 greater part of the East and adapt 

 themselves to a wide diversity of soils 

 and climate. They grow rapidly and, 

 therefore, leave the area in which they 

 have been planted free for another crop. 

 To secure a continuous supply it is de- 

 sirable to make plantings at intervals of 

 ten days or two weeks from the time 

 that the ground is reasonably warm 

 until hot weather sets in. 



Both string and lima beans are sub- 

 divided into pole and bush types. The 

 pole lima bean should be planted with 

 from eight to ten seeds in the hill and 

 after the plants become established 

 should be thined to three or four. The
