BEANS 



Every garden, large or small, must have Beans which are among 

 the finest of all vegetables. They are filled with flavor and health- 

 giving vitamins and furnish the best of food when fresh, canned, or 

 dried. Pick Green-podded and Wax Beans early and often for heavy 

 crops. 



Culture. Plant about May 1 if soil is warm and dry, in rows 

 2J^ to 3 feet apart, dropping the Beans 3 inches apart in the drills 

 and covering not more than 2 inches deep. Soil should be well 

 prepared. Give frequent but shallow cultivation. Sow every 2 weeks 

 for a succession.
