BEANS-Dwarf or Bush. 



CULTURE. — The varieties of this class are tender, and will not bear much cold. Planit about the middle of April, if the 



ground is warm and the season favorable, and at intervals throughout the season for a succession, finishing about the 15th of 



August. The best mode of culture is in rows 2 feet apart, and the beans 2 inches apart and 2 inches deep in the rows. Keep 



well hoed, and draw the earth up to the stem, but only when dry ; working them when wet with rain or dew will catise them t» 



rust and iniure the crop. 



One quart will plaut one hundred feet of drill.
