CULTURE.— No crop responds more readily to good soil and cultivation than this, 
soil best adapted to them is a ~ 
lieht, rich, well drained loam, 
which was manured for the 
previous crop. If too rank ma- 
nure is used it is apt to make 
them grow too much to vine. 
Beans are extremely sensitive to 
lK)th cold and wet, and it is use- 
less to plant them before the 
ground has become dry and 
warm. The largest return will 
result from plantirg in drills 
from two to three feet apart and 
leaving two to six plants to the 
foot of row. Up to the time of 
blossoming they should have 
frequent shallow cultivation, 
but any cutting of the roots after 
the plants come into bloom is 
liable to cause the blossoms to 
blast and so cut off the crop. 
Remember that beans should 
always be cultivated very shal- 
low and that it is u-seless to ex- 
pect a crop from a field so poorly 
prepared ax to need deep stirring 
aft«r planting. From one pint 
to two quarts will be sufficient 
to furnish a supply for an ordi-

It requires constant attention and skillful selection to keep them pure, so that it is especially important to 
use only seed from reliable sources.

all parts of the U. S. The vines are remark- 
ably vigorous, hardy and productive; the 
pods are very large, smooth and showy, and will 
sell when all other varieties will be refused ; they 
are tender, perfe<!tly stringless and of unusually 
fine quality. The entire pod assunnes a rich 
golden color at a very early stage of growth 
—a very important feature which no other 
sort does. Pl<t. 5c, pt. 25c, qt.45c, pk. SI.7S.

desirable varieties ever produced. It is valu- 
able either for snaps or pickles. The vines 
arc large, of a spreading habit and very pro- 
ductive, having numerou.s runners, u.sually pro- 
ducing pods in pairs throughout their entire 
length. "The flowers are rather small, of a yellow- 
ish white shade, pods greenish white, rather short, 
curved and quite thick. The ripe beans are oval 
in shape and of a pure white. Pkt. 5c. pt. 20o,

no«/;<r' ViAna\i U/ov (Seecut.) Something that American bean grower* have wanted for 
UdVIS IVIUIIC)' TTdA. years, a wax podded bush bean, with white seed. The pods are a light 
golden color and well filled with large white beans of the most deliciou.s quality. The vines are strong, 
vigorous in growth, and hold their pods far above the ground, considerably higher than the Improved 
Golden Wax. Test yields with other leading bush wax varieties showed over one-third 
heavier yield on the same ground. Another and most valuable point is earlini'.ss ; it is equally as early 
as Golden Wax, Detroit Wax or Perfection Wax, and the beans are of a much finer flavor. By all 
means give it a trial this season. Pkt. lOc, 3 pkts. 25c, pt. 25c, qt. 45c, pk. si. 50.
