BUSH EOIA BEANS. 



Culture. — Select land that is especially warm, rich, and 

 well supplied with vegetable fibre or humus. Plant as soon as 

 the soil has become warm in spring. Make the rows 2 feet 

 apart and give to each plant 6 inches space in the row. A top- 

 dressing of poultry manure, ashes, or some good fertilizer, or 

 compost around the plants will be of much benefit in hastening 

 maturity and increasing the yield.

 by us in 1898, and is an improvement on Burpee's Bush Lima.

 pods from contact with the soil, and thus preventing rust and
