BEANS - -- Wax or Yellow-Podded Varieties 
_ Culture—Begin sowing Dwarf or Bush var- 
ieties 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 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. Never cultivate beans while the foliage 
is wet or covered with dew, because the bean- 
spot or anthracnose will spread very rapidly if 
carried on the clothing or hoe, with detrimental 
effect to the crop. Beans should be picked 
daily in order to have them tender and string- 
ess. 
One pound to 100 feet of drill, 2 bushels (120 
Ibs.) to the acre in drills.
