 1000 two-year-old roots, will last for years and furnish an abundance. 



Directions. Select a good .sandy loam, plow the ground as deep as possible, dig out 12 inches deep, put 

 in a layer of 4 inches of good, strong stable manure, and press down; then fill in with good, rich, black 

 loam to the top of the bed: sow on the top of the bed 100 lbs of Kainit to lOOOsquarefeet of bed; incorporate 

 this thoroughly to depth of 3 inches. After leveling bed off even, stretch a line the length of bed 9 inches 

 l! c iin the edge, and with a spade cut a furrow 8 inches deep, set a row of plants along the trench 9 inches 

 i; iart, with the crowns of the roots 2 inches below the surface, then cover up, make even and plant other

Culture. Beans are somewhat tender, but it often pays to take some risks. Plant in warm, loamy soil at the beginning of settled, warm weather in 



spring, and at intei vals for succes.sion until August. Rows maj' be made 2 feet apart, and the Beans planted not more than 2 inches deep and several inches 



apart in the drills, or 3 or 4 Beans in hills 6 to 8 inches apart. Cultivate and hoe frequently, always, however, when the^^nesare perfectly dry. In hoeing 



draw the soil up towards the rows or plants. For String Beans gather the pods clean as soon as fit for use. The plants will remain all the longer in bearing.
