PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ONE QUART WILL PLANT 100 FEET OF DRILL. 



If beans are ordered by mail or express prepaid add 10 cents per pint, 15 cents per quart for charges. 

 CULTURE. — The varieties of this class are tender and will not bear much cold. Plant 

 about the first of April, if the ground is warm and the season favorable, and at intervals 

 throughout the season for a succession, finishing about the 15th of August. The best mode of 

 culture is in rows, 2 feet apart, and the beans 2 inches apart, and 2 inches deep in rows. 

 Keep well hoed and draw the earth up to the stern^ but only when dry ; working them when 

 wet with rain or dew will cause them to rust and injure the crop.
