KENDALL AND WHITNEY'S 
ENGLISH BEANS. 
These varieties are not ranch grown in this country, though highly 
esteemed in Europe, where they are grown on an extensive scale. 
Plant as early in spring as the ground can be worked, from two to 
four inches apart, in drills from twenty-four to thirty inches apart. As 
soon as the plants are in full blossom, and the lower pods begin to set, 
pinch off the tops ; this will insure the filling of pods and hasten the 
maturity of the seeds. A strong, heavy soil, with a considerable portion 
of clay, is indispensable for a good crop of this class of Beans. 
Per qt. Bush. 
Early Mazagan.— This variety is suitable both for field and 
garden culture. The stalks are four or five feet long, producing 
long narrow pods, containing four or five seeds to each. It re- 
quires good land in high condition, and should be cultivated in 
wide rows 40c. $7.00 
Broad Windsor.— A superior sort, particularly valuable from 
its habit of ripening unequally— some pods being quite full, while 
others are in various stages of filling — yielding a convenient sup- 
ply daily for a considerable length of time 40c. 7.00

These are more tender, and require rather more care in culture than 
the Bush Beans ; they succeed best in sandy loam, which should be liber- 
ally enriched with short manure in the hill's, which are formed, accord- 
ing to the variety, from three to four feet apart ; from five to six seeds 
are planted in each hill, about two inches deep.
