BEANS. Dwarf or Bush Green-Podded 
Beans are the most nutritious of all vegetable foods and are easily and quickly grown. 
Most varieties are ready for picldng in from five to six weeks from the time the seed is 
planted, and by maldng successive sowings every two weeks, you will have a continuous 
supply throughout the summer and fall. Our Beans are all greatly improved and will 
produce heavy crops of deh- 
cious, tender, stringless pods. 
Culture. — Beans grow well in any 
good garden soil. Usually the first 
planting can be made the last week in 
April, followed by successive plantings 
about two weeks apart until August 15. 
Open a drill 2 inches deep and drop 
the Beans 1 inch apart and cover. 
When well up, draw the soil up against 
the plants and cultivate frequently. 
Do not cultivate when the dew is on 
the plants as this frequently causes 
rust. For quick results soak the seed 
before planting.
