DREER'S RELIABLE SEEDS 



BEANS 



Dwarf or Bush 



One quart will plant one hundred feet of drill. 



The varieties of this class are tender, and will not bear much cold. 



Plant 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. 

 1 he best mode of culture is in rows 2 feet apart, and the beans 3 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 cause them to rust.
