BEANS. 



(Dwarf Snap or Bush.) 



Haricot (Fr.), Bohne (Ger.), Frijoi^knano (Sp.), Fagioi.0 Basso (Ital.) 



CULTURE. 



Place in rows eighteen inches apart; drop a bean every two or thre^ inches. Plant 

 from end of February, and for succession, every two or three weeks to May. Bush Beans 

 planted in this latitude during June and July, will not produce much. August and Sep- 

 tember are good months in which to plant again; they will produce abundantly till 



killed by the frost

 Extra Early Refugee. 



Pride of Newton. This is a 

 robust, strong growing bean 

 with long flat pods, which are 

 light green. It is quite early 

 and productive. The bean is 

 similar to the Yellow SixWeeks 

 in color, but much hardier. 



Early Mohawk Six 

 Weeks. A long podded vari- 

 ety, and very hardy. It is used 

 to a large extent for the market 

 for the first planting; very pro- 

 ductive. 



Early Yellow Six Weeks. 

 This is the most popular sort 

 among market gardeners. Pods 

 flat and long; a very good bear- 

 er, but not so good for shipping 

 as the Mohawk or Valentine. 



White Kidney. A good 

 strong growing variety, not 

 much planted. 



Red Kidney. A kind large- 

 ly planted for the New Orleans 

 market. It is a coarse growing 

 variety, and much used for 

 shelling when the pods turn yel- 

 low, so that the beans are well 

 developed, but yet soft. 



Best of All. A variety from 

 Germany of great merit. It is 

 green podded, long and succu- 

 lent; very prolific and well fla- 

 vored. Excellent for shipping 

 and family use. Although not 

 quite so early as the Mohawk*, 

 it is of superior quality for ship- 

 ping, and therefore, almost the 

 only kind planted here for that 

 purpose. The cut is agood rep- 

 resentation as it grows; it shows 

 only two-thirds of its natural 

 size. Cannot be too highly rec- 

 ommended. 



Do not cover the seeds more than two inches.
