BEANS, DWARF OR BUSH

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 wet, as the pods would become discolored. One quart of seed is sufficient for one hundred feet of drill: 

 two bushels for one acre in drills.
