 late greeii-]X)dded beans. Tbe 

 pods are broad, thick, very

The soil should be deep, rich, light and sandy. For an 

 early supply, sow in the spring, as soon as the ground becomes 

 fit to work, in drills about 1 foot apart and 2 inches deep. 

 For main crop sow first week in May, and for winter use sow 

 in July. These dates apply for the latitude of Philadelphia ; 

 for the South sow earlier, JSorth later. 



When the plants have attained 3 or 4 leaves, thin out so 

 that they may stand 5 or 6 inches apart. Keep free from 

 weeds. The roots may be taken up in October and stored in 

 the cellar or in pits outside, like potatoes.
