Dwarf or Bush Beans 



WM. ELLIOTT & SONS, NEW YORK 



BEANS 



Beans like a well-drained, rich and light loam, and should not be 

 planted too early, as they are very sensitive to eold 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 two to six plants to the foot in a row. Keep them well culti- 

 vated and draw the earth up to the stem.
