BEANS. 



As a farinaceous food for man, the Bean is considered far superior to any other legume, and next in impor- 

 tance to wheat. The modern varieties leave little to be desired ; the great care given to their improvement has 

 resulted in many superior sorts, greatly extending the season of use, as well as varying the quality or flavor. 

 The rearing of a really dwarf form of the Lima Bean is one of the greatest recent advances.

Culture. — About the first of May select a warm, dry, sheltered spot ; dig and manure slightly; make 

 drills two inches deep and eighteen inches to two feet apart ; drop the Beans three inches apart in the drills, 

 and cover not more than two inches deep. Hoe well in dry weather to keep down the weeds. Sow every two 

 weeks for a succession.
