BEANS 
ENGLISH BEANS 
The English Beans are very hardy, and should 
be planted as soon as possible after the ground 
is opened; plant in drills two and a half feet 
apart, and three inches in tlie drills; when they

the tops; this will insure the filling of the pods, 
and hasten maturity. A strong, heavy soil suits 
them best.

poles 4 to 8 feet long in rows north and south

better, bear earlier, and the pods are straighter 
and more easily seen. Around each hill plant from 
5 to S beans, 2 inches deep. When well started,
