BEANS — Dwarf French. 
Cultivation. — This useful vegetable may 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 A 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 be drawn round the plants to protect them from cold winds in Spring, and during the time of bearing occasional waterings 
with weak liquid manure will add much to the size of the produce and lengthen the period of bearing. Daniels’ “Incomparable ” can be highly 
recommended on account of its great proiificness and excellent quality. 
Whore greenhouses are available the earliest sowing may bo made at the beginning of April and the young plants transferred to the outside 
border when large enough to handle. A crop may also be grown in the early months of the year in heated frames or greenhouses, the seed being 
B own in 8-inch 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 crop be much reduced.
