BEANS, DWARF OR BUSH. {Busch-Bohnen.>^ 



WAX— PODDED VARIETIES. 



Round Pod Kidney Wax Bean. 



These succeed well in almost any 

 well-worked soil. Plant when the weather 

 has become warm, in drills two to three 

 feet apart according to the richness of 

 the soil. Cover the seed about two 

 inches. For succession plant every two 

 weeks from the first of May till August. 

 Hoe often, but never when the vines are 

 vet, as the pods would become discol- 

 ored. One quart of seed is sufficient 

 for one hundred fett of drill, two bushels 

 for one acre in drills. 



Packets of all varieties of Beans at 

 lo cents each, postpaid. If larger quan- 

 tities are wanted by mail, add at the rate 

 of 8 cents per pint and 15 cents per 

 quart extra for postage.
