 Culture. Beans are somewhat tender, but it of ten pays to take some risks. Plant in w.-irm, 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, however, when the vines are perfectly dry. In hoeing draw the 

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