4. Early Mohawk. — This is a hardy variety that will bear 
early planting, and even light frosts, without injury. It is a

frequently picked.

lent variety, and is indispensable for family use, boLh in a 
green or in a dry state. 
6. Early Refugee, or Thousand-to-One. — This variety, which 
is sometimes called "Purple, Speckled Valentine," is of a 
strong growth, and resembles the Early Valentine when green. 
1. Early Horticultural. — This variety is very productive, 
and is of superior excellence both green and dry. 
Cultivation. — Any of the forenamed varieties may be 
planted from the period of the flowering of the peach-tree, (see 
table on page 8,) to the middle of July ; and in all places south 
of St. Mary's, in Georgia, as a general rule, they may be sown 
in every month in the year. • 
The soil should be light and rich, well worked with the 
spade or plough. The seeds may be planted in hills, two and 
a half feet apart; or they may be sown in drills two and a 
half inches deep, from twelve to eighteen inches apart from 
drill to drill, and two inches from each other in the drills. As 
soon as the plants are three inches high, they should be care- 
fully weeded and the earth drawn up towards their stems. 
As they begin to show their flower buds, give them a second 
" ear'thing-up." 
Many prefer to plant these beans in hills, on account of their 
branching habit.
