VA WM. ELLIOTT & SONS, RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS WA 


BEANS 
Beans like a well-drained, rich and light loam, and should not be planted too 
early, as they are very sensitive to cold and wet. Plant about the middle of April 
when warm and favorable, and at intervals throughout the season for a succession 
until the latter part of August. Bush varieties should be planted in drills 2 feet 
apart, and from 2 to 6 plants to the foot in a row. Keep them well cultivated 
and draw the earth up to the stems. 
NOTE: 
The crop of Dwarf Wax and Dwarf Green Pod Beans is 
the nearest to a complete failure that we have ever known.
