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 inter- 

 vals throughout the season for a succession till about the latter part 

 of August. Bush varieties should be planted in drills 2 feet apart, 

 and from two to six plants to the foot in the row. Keep them well 

 cultivated and draw the earth up to the stem.
