BEANS — Dwarf French. 
Cultivation. — This useful vegetable can be grown by almost any one, as sufficient space for a row may be found in even the smallest garden. 
With attention to the preparation and manuring of the ground, there should be no difficulty in having a continuous supply of French Beans for 
a considerable portion of the Summer and Autumn. 
The culture is of the simplest; the ground having been thoroughly dug and manured in early Spring, the Beans should be planted about the 
end of April; the rows should be 2| feet apart and the Beans placed about 4 inches apart in the row, any gaps in the row may be filled up by 
transplanting the seedlings when just past the seed leaf. 
The soil should bo drawn round the plants to protect them from oold winds in Spring, and during the time of boaring occasional waterings 
with weak liquid manure will add muoh to the size of the produce and lengthen the period of bearing. Daniels’ “Incomparable” oan bo highly 
reoommended on account of its great prolificness and excellent quality. 
Where greenhouses are available the earliest sowing may be made at the beginning of April and the young plants transferred to the outside 
border when large enough to handle. A orop may also be grown in the early months of the year in heated frames or greenhouses, the seed being 
sown In 8-inoh pots half filled with good rich soil, and the pots gradually filled up with soil as the plants grow. It is most important that French Beans 
should be gathered as soon as ready, otherwise the plants will gradually give up blooming and the orop be muoh reduced.
