 perfectly warm, the Beans should be sown in drills 2 

 inches deep and 18 inches to 2 feet apart, dropping 

 the Beans 3 inches apart in the drills. Hoe well in 

 dry weather, and plant every two weeks for a succes- 

 sion. 



1 quart will plant 100 feet of drill, and 2 bushels will 

 plant an acre

grower; pro- 

 ductive; free from rust and blight. Plants are loaded 

 with long, handsome, .straight pods, averaging 7 inches

 have a slight string. It is distinctly a market-garden- 

 er's Bean on account of its great vigor. By mail, post- 

 paid, pkt. 10 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 45 cts. ; by express, 

 qt. 30 cts., pk. $1.65, bus. $6.

 terpart. of the New Hodson Wax-Pod in sturdiness of

 tiveness, but there are more tender and delicate 

 varieties for table use. By mail, postpaid, pkt. 10 cts.,
