Currie Brothers' Horticultural Guide, 



BEANS— Dwarf or Bush. 



German, Bohne. French, Haricot. 



Begin sowing the 1st of May, if the ground 

 is in fit condition. For successive crops sowing 

 may be made every two or three weeks, until the 

 1st of September. 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. 



If hy mail in quantities of a pint and, 

 upwards, add 15c per quart for postage. 



One quart to 100 feet of drill, 2 bushels to 

 the acre in drills. 



CURRIE'S RUST PROOF GOLDEN WAX. 



A variety of very superior merit, and one 

 that is unequaled by any other "Wax Bean in its 

 many excellent qualities. It is positively proof 

 against rust that most inveterate and destruct- 

 ive enemy of the Bean. For while grown side 

 by side, for several years, with other Wax Beans, 

 all of them more or less affected by rust, many 

 of them completely ruined by it, this Bean has 

 remained entirely free from rust. Not only is it 

 Rust-proof, but it possesses the most excellent 

 and most desirable quality, of being always 

 exceedingly crisp and tender, with no approach 

 whatever to stringiness, and of a most delicious 

 flavor; whereas, as is well known among the 

 few Beans which are said to be nearly rust-proof, 

 there is not one that is not rendered almost unfit 

 for use, owing to the tough, stringy texture of 

 the pods, and their poor flavor. Not the least 

 among the good qualities of this Bean is its enormous productiveness, and it possesses the further merit of being the earliest 

 of all Wax Beans. The Cleveland Seed Co., Cape Vincent, N. Y., describes it thus: "After four years experience in the grow- 

 ing of this variety and being tested each year side by side with wax beans from other growers, we have found them to be nearest 

 to perfection of them all. For earliness they are at the head of the wax bean family. Habit upright and robust, holding their 

 pods well from the ground. Foliage remarkably vigorous and healthy. Pods long, flat and straight, of a beautiful golden color; 

 quality not surpassed. For productiveness they are unequaled. Owing to the great demand for these beans since their merits 

 have become known to truckers and others, we have never been able to reserve stock enough to supply the growing demand."
