CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE 



Dwarf or Bush, Wax Podded or Butter Varieties 



Begin sowing the Dwarf or Bush varieties the first week of May, if 

 the ground is in fit condition. For successive crops sowing may be 

 made every two or three weeks, until the first of July. Sow thinly In 

 drills from 2 to 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 

 Oue quart to 100 feet of drill ; 2 bushels to the acre in drills. 



The pole varieties should be sown In hills about four feet apart, 

 dropping five or six seeds in each hill, to the depth of about 2 Inches. 

 Being more tender than the Bush varieties, the planting of them 

 should be delayed about two weeks after the usual time for planting 

 the latter. A sandy soil suits them best, but the hills should have a 

 liberal quantity of' manure worked in previous to planting the seeil. 

 1 quart to 150 hills ; 10 to 12 quarts per acre. 



Currie's Rust= Proof Wax. 



Tbe best Wax Beaa for Market Gardeners. Tbe earliest of all Wax Beans. 

 Pods full of Meat, tender and absolutely stringless. 



It is Positively Proof Against Rnst. For while grown side 



by side, for many years, with other Wax Beans, all of them 



more or less affected by rust, many of them completely ruined 



by it, this Bean remained entirely free from rust. Not only 



Is it rust- proof, but It possesses the most excellent quality of 



being exceedingly crisp and tender, tvith no approach 



whatever to stringiness, and of a most delicious flavor.
