What to Grow 



BEANS 



We have bush beans and pole beans. The 

 former are of low, compact growth, and need 

 no support, and on this account most amateur 

 gardeners will be likely to choose them. But 

 the limas or climbing sorts have so superior a 

 flavor that the owner of even a small garden 

 can hardly afford to be without a few hills of 

 them. They have a rich, buttery quality which 

 is seldom found among the bush beans. They 

 are very productive, and will be found superior 

 to any others in the concoction of succotash. 



Among the bush beans especial mention 

 should be made of the following varieties: 



Refugee. Of compact growth, extremely 

 prolific, pods Hght green, very solid and tender. 



Stringless Green Pod. A very early sort 

 that remains tender and crisp a long time after 

 maturity. Of fine flavor. 



Golden Wax. Pods long, thick, tender, fine 

 flavored, and absolutely stringless. A most 

 excellent variety. 



Among the limas. Leviathan may be placed 

 at the head of the list, being a great bearer, 

 rich in flavor, and remaining eatable through- 

 out the season. Bush limas are also good.
