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 succes- 
sion 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.
