If, when the plants are in flower, the 

 supply of moisture is shortened, either 

 by drought or by injury to the roots 

 through too close or too deep cultiva- 

 tion, so that the plants wilt, be it ever 

 so little, the pods will fail to fill, and 

 it is very seldom that the later-matur- 

 ing pods on the plant will be any bet- 

 ter, even if more favorable conditions 

 bring out an abundant bloom. 



From the starting of the seed into 

 growth to the storage of the ripened 

 grain, beans are exceedingly sensitive 

 to unfavorable conditions of moisture. 

 In spite of this, seed beans will often 

 prove a profitable farm crop on good 

 land anywhere in the United States 

 north of latitude 40 or 41 degrees and 

 east of the Dakotas. South of latitude 

 41 degrees beans are so liable to in- 

 jury by the bean weevil, and in much 

 of the country west of central Wiscon- 

 sin the crop is so likely to be cut off 

 by dry, hot winds at the time the 

 plants are in flower, that seed beans 

 are rarely profitable for many suc- 

 cessive seasons, though some fine crops 

 of seed beans have been grown in 

 Minnesota and the Dakotas. 



Seed of Lima beans, as well as of 

 pole varieties of garden beans, can be 

 very profitably grown along the west- 

 ern coast of California, where the night 

 ■winds from the ocean furnish the nec- 

 essary moisture and the crop seldom 

 suffers from drenching rains. Of late 

 years seed of garden bush beans has 

 also been grown to some extent in 

 northern California, where there is less 

 liability to disease than in the bean- 

 growing sections of the east, but, in 

 general, California crops are grown on 

 farms wholly devoted to growing seed, 

 rather than as a part of the regular 

 rotation of mixed farming. 



Soil and Climate. 



Garden beans have developed into 

 many quite distinct varieties adapted 

 to different soils, and it is quite essen- 

 tial to their profitable culture as a seed 

 crop that one plant the sorts best suit- 

 ed to his particular soil conditions. 

 This can only be learned through test 

 plantings of the different sorts.
