BEANS. 



As a farinaceous food lor 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 su- 

 perior sorts, greatly extending the season of 

 use, as well as varying the quality or flavor. 



DWARF, or SNAP BEANS. 



Haricots Nains. Frijoles. $ru^33obnen. 



Culture.— About the first of May select a 

 warm, dry, sheltered spot ; dig and manure 

 slightly ; make drills 2 inches deep and 18 

 inches to 2 feet apart; drop the Beans 3 inches 

 apart in the drills, and cover not more than 2 

 inches deep. Hoe well in dry weather to keep 

 down the weeds. Sow every two weeks for a 

 succession.
