 Culture. — Beans are somewhat tender, but it often pays to take some risks. Plant in warm, loamy soil at the beginning of 

 settled, warm weather in spring, and at intervals for succession until August. Rows may be made 2 feet apart, and the Beans 

 planted a few inches apart in the drills, or 3 or 4 Beans in hills 6 to 8 inches apart. Cultivate and hoe frequently, always, how- 

 ever, when the vines are perfectly dry. In hoeing draw the soil up towards the rows or plants. For String Beans gather the pods 

 clean as soon as fit for use. The plants will remain all the longer in bearing.
