BEANS. 



DWARF OR BUSH. WAX PODDED OR BUTTER 

 VARIETIES. 



Begin sowing the Dwarf or Bush varieties the first 

 week in May, if the ground is in fit condition. For 

 successive crops sowings may be made every two or 

 three weeks until the first of July. Sow thinly in 

 drills 2 or 3 inches deep and from 18 inches to 2 feet 

 apart If the soil fs rather poor, the former depth will 

 suffice; if rich, the latter. One quart to 100 feet of 

 drill; 2 bushels to the acre in drills. 



The Pole varieties should be sown in hills about four 

 feet apart, dropping five or six seeds in each hill, to 

 the depth of about 2 inches. Being more tender than 

 the Bush varieties, the planting of them should be de- 

 layed about two weeks after the usual time for plant- 

 ing the latter. A sandy soil suits them best, but the 

 hills should have a liberal quantity of manure worked 

 in previous to planting the seed. One quart to 150 

 hills; 10 to 12 quarts per acre.
