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 in. 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.)
