beans Vary with the season and are 

 more influenced by the ruling prices 

 for commercial beans than is the case 

 with corn. At present they range from 

 $1.30 to $2.30 a bushel for the sorts 

 which are most easily grown and 

 thrashed, and from $1.50 to $2.50 for 

 those which require greater care and 

 labor. Prices for growing Lima and 

 pole beans range from $2.75 to $4 a 

 bushel. 



The unit of measurement in farmers' 

 contracts for growing beans is usually 

 a nominal bushel of sufficient weight to 

 li'ive sixty pounds after all cleaning 

 ■iiid hand picking necessary to make the 

 'loans fit for seedsmen's use. There is, 

 li-'wever, a diflference, sometimes 

 a nounting to from five to ten per cent, 

 ii the actual weight of the same bulk 

 "' equally clean and well cured lots of 

 J iTerent varieties. 



Minimum Acceptable Viability. 



The minimum percentage of viability 

 a cepted by seedsmen on growing con- 

 '^■icts varies somewhat in different sea- 

 '^ ns and with different varieties of 

 'I ans, and runs from eighty to ninety- 

 ^^e per cent. There is less excuse for 

 ^'iriation in the percentage of accept- 

 able viability with beans than with 

 ':-rn, for beans usually grow as well the 

 sf'cond season as the first, and a large 

 proportion of the beans which are not 

 y^able will be removed in hand clean- 



Their appearance is an important 

 factor in determining the acceptability 

 "f beans, and any distinct stain or dis- 

 coloration on as many as eight or ten 

 Pf r cent of the beans justifies their re- 

 .l^ction, even if they be of high via- 

 bility. Seedsmen claim the right to 

 purchase, at an equitable reduction in 

 price, beans grown under contract 

 ^hich, from discoloration or want of

ANEMONES FOR CUT FLOWERS. 



Are Anemone coronaria and A. ful- 

 gens of any value as cut flowers, and 

 are they hardy in this country? What 

 treatment do they require in the state 

 of Michigan? H. H. G. 



These charming bulbous flowers would 

 not prove reliably hardy in your state. 

 It is true that you could plant them 

 quite late in a well drained and shel- 

 tered piece of ground, mulch them well 

 and probably many might live. They 

 would, however, flower disappointingly. 

 At the time they would open we usu- 

 ally get some hot and dry weather, and 

 these conditions they do not like. I 

 have seen some fair anemones grown

near the northern Atlantic seaboard, 

 but poor as compared with what we find 

 in Europe. The Pacific coast states 

 should, however, be able to grow these 

 much better. 



The best way for you to grow these 

 anemones would be either planted out in 

 a coldframe, or in flats containing five 

 inches of soil. They also do well in a 

 bench in a cold greenhouse, where a 

 temperature suitable for violets, 40 to 

 42 degrees at night, is kept in winter. 

 They like good drainage and a light, 

 rather rich soil, to which plenty of sand 

 has been added. The cut flowers of 

 these anemones are popular in all the 

 big flower centers and are eagerly 

 bought up by the up-to-date stores. 

 They last remarkably well in a cut 

 state. The variety of A. coronaria 

 named The Bride is of a beautiful pure 

 white color. These anemones will not 

 stand forcing at all. C.
