CURRIE BROTHERS CO. FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL. 



Dwarf or Bush^ Wax Podded or Buttor 

 Varieties. 



Begin sowing the Dwarf or Bush varieties the first 

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

 cessive crops sowings may be made every two or tliree 

 weeks, until the first of July. Sow thinly in drills 2 or 3 

 inches deep, and from 18 inches to 2 feet apart. If ihe 

 soil is rather poor, the former depth will suffice; If rich, 

 the la.tter. One quart to 100 feet of drill; 2. bushels to the 

 acre in drills. 



The Pole varieties should be sow^n 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 delayed 

 about two -weeks after the usual time for planting 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. 1 quart to 150 hills; 10 to 12 quarts 

 per acre.
