DREER'S RELIABLE SEEDS. 



BEANS— Dwarf, Bush or Snap. 



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 loth of 

 August. The best mode of culture is in rows, 2 feet apart, and the beans 3 inches apart and 2 inches deep in the rows.

 cause them to rust and injure the crop.
