CLIBRANS, SEED MERCHANTS AND NURSERYMEN 
Beans, Broad (. Faba vulgaris). 
Sow at intervals from January to May, in rows 2 feet apart, a strong, stiff, rich soil being the most suitable. As soon as the 
young pods show through the flowers at the bottom of the plants the tops ought to be pinched out to throw all energy into 
the flowers already formed. Beans, as a rule, require phosphate food; 1 J ozs. Clibrans’ Phosphate Manure to the square yard is an 
effective dressing.

Beans, Runner 
(. Phaseolus multi florus) . 
Runner Beans succeed best in sandy loam liberally enriched 
with short manure. Sow in drills from May to July, 3 or 4 feet 
apart, placing the seeds with the eye downward, 2 inches deep 
and 6 inches apart in the rows; pinch off the tops when the 
plants are in full flower. The same dressing should be used as 
recommended for French Beans, at the rate of 3 ozs. to the 
square yard.
