  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 
  intervals 
  for 
  succession 
  until 
  August. 
  Rows 
  may 
  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, 
  how- 
  

   ever, 
  when 
  the 
  vines 
  are 
  perfectly 
  dry. 
  In 
  hoeing 
  draw 
  the 
  soil 
  up 
  towards 
  the 
  rows 
  or 
  plants. 
  For 
  String 
  Beans 
  gather 
  the 
  pods 
  clean 
  as 
  

   fit 
  for 
  use. 
  The

  will

  in
