FERRY'S SEEDS 



Giant Stringless Green Pod 



BEANS 



Plant beans after all danger of frost is past, in warm, dry, well- 

 prepared soil. The rows should be 2 to 3 feet apart and the seeds 

 covered IJ^ to 2 inches deep. Thin the young plants to 3 to 6 

 inches apart in the rows. 



Shallow cultivation should be frequent until blossoming ; then 

 stop to avoid injury to the roots. (Root injury causes the blos- 

 soms to fall off.) For succession, plant every 2 weeks until 

 midsummer. Frequent picking of the crop insures long bearing. 

 Two pounds of seed sow 100 feet, and 60 pounds sow 1 acre. 



Not less than 5 lbs. of a variety sold at the 10 lb. rate.
