WM. ELLIOTT & SONS, RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS 



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.
