 per quart. For Sugar Corn, 5 cts. per pint and 10 cts. per quart. 



PARCEL POST does not affect postage on seeds and bulbs, the rate remaining as heretofore, 

 excepting that we can mail packages up to 20 pounds in the first and second zones, and up to II 

 pounds in all other zones. Letter stamps can be used on parcel-post packages. 



BEANS 



Beans should not be planted before the ground becomes light and warm, in favorable sea- 

 sons usually about the first of May. The soil should be rich and mellow, and the seeds scat- 

 tered about 3 inches apart in drills 2 to 2J-2 f eet apart and covered about 2 inches deep. 

 Successive sowings, made at intervals of about two weeks until the middle of July, will give 

 a plentiful supply of Beans throughout the season. One quart of seed will sow 100 feet of drill. 

 If Beans are wanted by mail, add for postage 8 cts. per pint or 15 cts. per quart to prices;
