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, w^ith detrimental effect to the crop. Beans 

 should be picked dally in order to have them 

 tender and stringless. 



One pound to 100 feet of drill, 2 bushels (120 

 lbs.) to the acre In drills.
