8 CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 
BEANS 
Culture—Begin sowing Dwarf or Bush va- 
rieties 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, be- 
cause the beanspot 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.
