BEANS— Dwarf or Bush KS&T 



One pound will plant about fifty feet of drill. 

 CULTURE — Plant any time after the weather has become firmly settled, say around middle of May in the latitude of Philadelphia. 

 Most any soil will bear good crops, but well enriched sandy loam will give biggest returns per square foot. Sow seeds in rows 2 to 2k feet 

 apart, dropping the beans four inches apart in the row, covering about 2 inches deep. Hoe as soon as seedlings appear, and when they 

 begin to form second or third pair of leaves, hill the rows slightly to support the plants. Repeat this hilling process as the plants grow 

 larger, bearing in mind, however, that beans should never be cultivated while the bushes are wet with either dew or rain. For a succession 

 of young, brittle pods, sow every other week up to August 1st. 



Black Valentine. Of handsome appearance and for this reason it is very popular. It 

 may be planted earlier than other varieties of Beans, as it withstands considerable cold 

 damp weather. The plants make a strong growth and produce a heavy crop of pods, which 

 are dark green in color, long, straight and nearly round. Develops a little fibre unless 

 gathered while young, when it is of fine quality. Pkt., 10 cts.; J lb., 25 cts.; lb., 40 cts.; 

 2 lbs., 75 cts.; 5 lbs., SI. 75, prepaid. 



Bountiful. Easily the most productive flat, green-podded, stringless bush bean in culti- 

 vation today. Under favorable conditions of soil and season this variety has been known 

 to bear one bushel of pods per 15 foot row, in the course of the season. The plants are 

 very vigorous, and disease resistant. They bear the bulk of the crop within 75 days from 

 date of planting, the first picking being generally ready in sixty days. The pods average 

 6 inches long, by f inches wide, are thick through, of pleasing light green color, very brittle 

 and absolutely stringless at all stages of development. Bountiful tastes as good as it looks.
