BEANS — Runner. 
Cultivation. — Runner Beans form one of the most important and 
profitable of all garden crops grown for Summer and Autumn use, and 
yield a liberal supply of vegetables available for use after the Maincrop 
Peas are over. 
They are easy of culture and may be grown as screens in small gardens, 
thus serving the double purpose of covering a trellis or wall and at the 
same time yielding a crop of delicious vegetables. 
The ground should be prepared in the same manner as for other Beans, 
but Runners being somewhat tender the seed should not be sown until 
early in May. 
Sow the seed in double rows 9 inches apart and, if possible, allow 
a spaoe of 12 feet between each double row, cropping the intervening 
spaoe with other vegetables. 
For a succession make further sowings in June and July. 
When the plants are about 9 inches high, draw the earth round them, 
and plaoe tall, strong stakes to the rows, taking care to make them very 
firm and able to withstand the wind. A good mulohing of rotted manure 
during the cropping season will lengthen the period of bearing and give 
quality to the beans. 
Where it is impossible to procure tall stakes, It is the practice to 
take out the leading growths when the plants are about a foot high, 
thus enoouraging a spreading habit and in this way good orope may be 
grown and space economised. 
The best varieties both for exhibition and general purposes are 
Daniels' Giant White and Daniels’ Giant Scarlet.
