Dwarf or Bush, Wax Podded or = il 
Buiter Yarieties. 
Begin sowing the Dwarf and 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 first of July. Sow thinly in drills 2 or 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. One quart to 100 feet of: drill; 2 bushels 
to the acre in drills. 
The Poie varieties should be sown in hills about four feet apart, dropping 
five or six seeds in each hill, to the depth of about 2inches, 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 seed. 1 quart to 150 hills; 10 to 12 quarts per acre.

Wex Beans. Pods full of Meat, tender and
