BEANS, Pole or Running. 



Ger. Stangen Bohnen. Fr. Haricots a rames. 



One qt. will plant 100 to 150 hills. 

 These are more tender, and require rather more 

 care in culture, than the bush beans, and should be 

 sown two weeks later; they succeed best in sandy loam, 

 which should be liberally enriched with manure. Form 

 hills from three to four feet apart ; plant six to eight 

 bei ns with the eyes downward, in each hill, about two 

 inches deep, leaving a space in the center for the pole. 

 Limas will not grow until the weather and ground are 

 warm; if planted before, they are apt to rot in the 

 ground, 



GOLDEN WAX FLAGEOLET. See Novelties, 



DREER'S EARLY GOLDEN CLUSTER. This 

 variety is claimed to be the finest pole bean in cul- 

 tivation. The pods retain their tenderness and
