CULTURE. — No crop responds more readily than Beans to good soil and cultivation. If too rank 
manure is used, however, they show a tendency to run too much .to vine. Beans are very sensitive 
to cold and wet, and really should not be planted in this section until early in April, tho frequently 
they are put in in March. The Fall crop is put in in August. Plant in rows 2 to 2% feet apart, cov- 
ering one to two inches deep, and allowing 3 to 4 inches apart in the row for green varieties, 4 to 6 
inches for wax. For a succession, for private gardens, plant at intervals of two weeks, except dur- 
ing June and July, as they generally do not do well during these very hot months. Give frequent 
shallow cultivation up to the time of blossoming, not, however, when the ground is wet, or dew on 
the vines, as it is liable to cause rust. 
One quart is sufficient for 100 feet drill, 1 to 1V& bushels to acre. 
INSECT REMEDIES. — For the Bean Leaf Beetle which eats holes in the leaves, or the Blister 
Beetle, spray with arsenate of lead, 2 lbs. to 50 gallons of water. 
For the Bean Aphis or Idee, spray with diluted Kerosene Emulsion or Tobacco extract. 
For Fungus diseases and rust, spray with Bordeaux Mixture. 
Green Podded Varieties 
Hopkins Earliest Reel Valentine. 
REFUGEE. — Late, or 1000 to 1. Vine large, 
spreading, exceedingly hardy, very late, and for 
this reason used for late planting and for pickles. 
The pods are long cylindrical, green and of good 
quality. Pk., $2.75; bu., $10.50. 
GIANT STRINGLESS. — A very hardy, stocky 
vine, pods long, round and green in color, of ex- 
ceptionally fine quality and strin'gless throughout 
its entire growth. About a week ear- 
lier than Red Valentine and much 
more prolific. Pk., $3.25; bu., $12.50. 
TENNESSEE GREEN POD.— This 
dwarf snap bean, although new to the 
Seed trade, has for several years been 
grown in the South, and wherever 
known is freely spoken of in terms 
of highest praise. Vine prolific, foli- 
age dark green with leaves large and 
crumpled. Pods long flat, irregular 
in shape, bright green and of most 
excellent quality. Seed medium size, oval, flat 
yellowish brown in color. Pk., $3.00; bu., $11.50. 
HOPKINS EARLIEST RED VALENTINE. — 
One of the earliest and most prolific round green 
podded Beans. Comes into bearing earlier than 
the old stock of Valentines, is a wonderful pro- 
ducer and a perfect shipper. It will remain in 
a perfect condition for nearly two weeks after 
picking. Pk., $3.00; bus., $11.50. 
EXTRA EARLY RED VALENTINE. — A stand- 
ard green-podded variety and more extensively 
grown than any other garden sort. Vines medium 
to large, erect, with dark green leaves; pods about 
4% inches long, are very fleshy, crisp and tender. 
It is resistant to disease and will thrive well on 
any kind of soil. A first-class market variety 
and one of the best and most popular of all the 
green podded sorts. Pk., $2.75; bus., $10.50. 
BLACK VALENTINE. — A recently introduced 
variety which has become quite popular and 
grown with great profit in the South. The plant 
is extremely hardy and early. The pods are borne 
profusely and are very large and extremely hand- 
some in appearance. The color is a rich dark 
green, and the pod, while of excellent table quali- 
ties, is sufficiently fine grained and firm as to 
make it a splendid and profitable sort to ship to 
distant markets. Pk., $3.00; bus., $11.00. 
BURPEE’S STRINGLESS GREEN POD. — This 
new bean produces a vine similar to Red Valen- 
tine. but develops pods to an edible condition in 
42 days, about four days earlier than Valentine. 
The pods are green, not quite so round as Valen- 
tine and less curved. The pods are stringless, ab- 
solutely so, this quality at once placing the varie- 
ty at the top of the list among table beans, while 
the early maturing is of great merit. This string- 
less quality is of particular value, the pods break- 
ing as short and free as pipe stems. Pk., $3.00; 
bu., $11.50. 
EARLY YELLOW LONG SIX WEEKS.— A 
long, fiat-podded, very productive variety, with- 
standing a greater degree of frost and cold weath- 
er than r.ny other, and on that account is pre- 
ferred for first planting; also excellent for pick- 
ling, for which purpose it should be planted about 
the last of August. Pk., $2.50; bu., $9.50. 
BOUNTIFUL. — An improved Long Yellow Six 
Weeks, in that it is earlier, very much larger and 
more tender. It is very hardy, extremely early, 
very prolific, and bears continuously for several 
weeks. Pods are flat, absolutely stringless, rich 
green, very large and handsome. The seeds are 
yellow, long, resembling Six Weeks. For very 
early or very late planting is very desirable for 
home garden and market. Pk., $2.75; bus., $10.50. 
Varieties for Shelling 
The largest return will result from planting in 
drills from two to three feet apart and leaving 
the plants two to six inches apart in the row. Up 
to the time of flowering they should have fre- 
quent shallow cultivation, but any mutilation of 
'.he roots by cultivation after the plants come into
