LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1914. 11 
BEANS. 
DWARF OR BUSH. 
Begin sowing 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 is 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. 
On account of extremely unfavorable weather conditions during the 
harvest season, all varieties this year are very scarce. Order early.
