BEANS-Dwarf or Bush, ^^^^^t^^'^ 



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 lor 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 cause them lo rust and injure the crop. 



One quart will plant one hundred feet of drill.
