Curries 
CULTURE—Begin sowing dwart 
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 15th of 
July. Mature in 45 to 65 days. 
Sow thinly in drills 2 to 3” 
deep and from 18” to 2 feet 
apart. Never cultivate beans 
while the foliage is wet or coy- 
ered with dew, because the bean- 
spot or anthracnose will spread 
very rapidly if carried on the 
clothing or hoe. (120 Ibs. to the 
e@cre in drills.)
