CANNELLS’ BEANS, 
TALL KIDNEY RUNNER or CLIMBING. 
CULTURE.— Sowings may be made in April, under glass, and the plants put out 
about the middle of May where they are to stand. If, however, they are to be sown in the 
open ground, the first week in May and again in June and July. When thickly mulched 
and watered they will bear heavily. They should be occasionally topped, to induce side 
growth, and if possible stakes or supports of some kind slionld be used, as it allows of much 
finer growth and increased production of pods.
