Hew Strmgless Green Pod Bean. 



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 tne stem.
