 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 may 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 4 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 vari- 

 eties. Pods six to seven inches long, almost flat, slightly curved, excellent flavor, and 

 is a heavy yielder. Pkt. 10c. Lb. 25c. 2 Lbs. 50c. 10 Lbs. $2.25. 25 Lbs. $6.00. 100

1008. Giant Stringless Valentine. This is a great improvement on the oldtime 

 popular favorite Valentine Bean. The pods are fully one-third longer, averaging 5 to 

 6 inches in length; absolutely stringless, very crisp, 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. Pkt. 10c. Lb. 26c. 2 Lbs. 52c. 10 Lbs. $2.30.
