Directions. Select a good sandy 

 loam, plow the ground as deep as 

 possible, dig out 12 inches deep, 

 put in a layer of 4 inches of good, 

 strong stable manure, and press 

 down; then fill in with good, rich, 

 black loam to the top of the bed. 

 After leveling bed off even, stretch 

 a line the length of bed 9 inches 

 from the edge, and with a spade 

 cut a furrow 8 inches deep, set a 

 row of plants along the trench 15 inches apart, with the crowns of the roots 2 inches below 

 the surface, then cover up, make even and plant other rows 30 inches apart.

Culture. Beans are somewhat tender, but it often pays to take some risk. Plant 

 in warm, loamy soil at the beginning of settled, warm weather in Spring, and at 

 intervals for succession until August. Rows ma3' be made 2 feet apart, and the 

 beans planted not more than 1 inch deep and several inches apart in the drills, or 

 3 or i beans in hills 6 to 8 inches apart. Cultivate and hoe frequently, always, 

 however, when the vines are perfectly dry. In hoeing draw the soil up towards the 

 rows or plants. For String Beans, gather the pods clean as fit for use. The plants 

 will remain all the longer in bearing. 



1134. Bolgiano's Home Sweet Home Bean. The most tender 

 of any large varieties. Pods six to seven inches long, almost flat, 

 slightly curved, excellent flavor, and is a heavy yielder. 



1008. Giant Stringless Valentine. This is a great improvement 

 on the old-time popular favorite Valentine Bean. The pods are fully 

 one-third longer, averaging 5 to 6 inches in length ; absolutely string- 

 less, very crfsp, round, full and fleshy. It is enormously productive, 

 its handsome pods being ready for market a few days later than old 

 Valentine. We confidently recommend it either for the home garden 

 or as a profitable variety to grow for market. 



1009. Stringless Green Pod Beans. (Burpee's) Crisp, tender, 

 luscious flavor. Handsome light, green. Pods are full, fleshy and 

 produced in great abundance, remaining green on vines in an edible 

 condition longer than any other bean known. (Specialty, see page 5.)-
