 Culture. Beans are somewhat tender, but it often pays to take some risks. Plant in warm, loamy soil at the beginning of settled, warm weallier 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 S inches apart. Cultivate and hoe frequently, always, however, 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 plants w ill remain all the longer in bearing.
