BFANS— DWARF or BUSH < 



BOHNEN) 



Ciiant fSliiiigless (irtoii Pod 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 covering 2 inches deep. Culti- 

 vate frequently but do not work around the 

 plants while they are wet, lest they "rust." 

 Pick the pods before they are fully de- 

 veloped and the plants will produce several 

 good pickings. 



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, 

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



If wanted l»y parcel post, add 8c per pt.; 

 10c per q.t.
