CURRIE BROTHERS CO. FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL. 



BEANS. 



Dwarf or Bush, Wax Podded or Butter 

 Varieties. 



Begin sowing the Dwarf or 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 inche.s 

 deep, and from 18 inches to 2 feet apart. If the soil is 

 rather poor, the former depth will suffice; if rich, the lat- 

 ter. One quart to 100 feet of drill; 2 bushels to the acre 

 in drills. 



The Pole varieties should be sown in hills about four 

 feet apart, dropping five or six seeds in each hill, to the 

 depth of about 2 inches. 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.
