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 favor- 

 able, 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 the rows. Keep well hoed and 

 draw the earth up to the stem, but only when dry; working them when wet 

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