YELLOW ROD WAX BEANS. 



CULTURE OF BEANS.— Dwarf beans may not be safely planted until the middle of April, owing to 

 late frosts, but may be planted thereafter, as desired, until the middle of August. Select high, rich soil ; make 

 drills two feet apart ; drop beans along the rows and cover with earth ; hoe often and keep earth to the stems. 



Bolgiano's New Wax Beans. — Introduced by 

 us four year ago. The pods are round and of a bright 

 golden yellow. It is very productive, bearing its fruit 

 in clusters, of medium size, thick flesh pods about the

 early, and our trade has been much pleased with this 

 bean. It is free from rust and almost stringless.

 flavor and very attractive when served 

 on the table. Quart, 25 cents; gallon,
