BEANS 



WAX OR YELLOW PODDED VARIETIES 



CULTURE — 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 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 stringless. 



(120 lbs. to the acre in drills.)
