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 tho 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-j- feet apart and the Beans placed about 4 inches apart in the row, any gaps in the row may be tilled 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 tho time of bearing occasional watering^ 
with weak liquid manure will add much to tho size of the produce and lengthen the period of bearing. Daniels’ “ Incomparable ” eau be liighly 
rccommended on account of its great prolificness and excellent quality. 
Where greenhouses are available tho 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 crop may also be grown in the early months of tho year in heated frames or greenhouses, the seed being 
sown 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.

DANIELS’ INCOMPARABLE. This 
splendid dwarf Kidney Bean since its intro- 
duction has fully justified our high opinion of 
it, both as regards quality and prolificness. 
The pods are of great length, straight, and of 
a rich clear green colour, very tender, and of 
the best culinary quality. It is of strong con- 
stitution, sturdy habit, and wonderfully prolific. 
It is quite distinct in the seed and has proved a 
decided acquisition . . per pint 2s. Od. 3 9 
r DANIELS’ WONDERFUL (new). This 
is without doubt the longest podded Dwarf 
French Bean yet introduced. The pods which 
are very straight and handsome, grow to the 
length of 10 to 12 inches, and are produced in 
great abundance. It is at the same time very 
tender and of fine quality. Excellent alike for 
exhibition and the table, and is highly recom- 
mended . . ... per pint 2s. Od. 3 9

purposes . . „ - « per pint Is. 9d. 3 3
