DWARF or BUSH 

 BEANS 



Grow Bush Beans in your garden and get 

 more meals per square foot. They are easy 

 to grow, thrive in almost any soil, and pro- 

 duce big crops in little space. The seed 

 should not be sown until danger from frost 

 is past. Sow in rows 1% to 2 feet apart, 

 dropping the seeds 4 inches apart, and cov- 

 ering 2 inches deep. Cultivate frequently 

 but do not work around the plants while 

 they are wet, lest they "rust." Pick the 

 pods before they are fully developed and 

 the plants will produce several good pick- 

 ings. For a continuous supply, make suc- 

 cessive sowings every two weeks up to 

 mid-July. Plenty of pulverized sheep ma- 

 nure and watering in the dry spells will 

 greatly increase the yield. Apply water to 

 the soil between the rows, not to the foliage. 

 One quart of Beans will plant 100 ft. of row. 



If wanted by parcel post, add 8c per pt. ; 

 10c per qt.
