HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
BEANS, DWARF OR BUSH 
T) EANS grow in any soil and everybody can grow them. 
They are distinctly a “warm weather” vegetable 
and should not be sown outdoors until the maple trees 
develop leaves. They have no insect enemies of any 
consequence and are one of the easiest vegetables to grow 
and harvest if the simple points mentioned on pages 49-58 
are observed. Bush beans mature in from fifty to eighty- 
five days from date of sowing seeds. 
BEANS, POLE OR CLIMBING 
T HESE are equally as tender as the bush beans and 
should not be planted until the weather is quite 
settled and the soil is warm. All pole beans bear later 
than the dwarf sorts, but are also more prolific. They 
require more labor because poles must be provided and 
vines should be tied up, but they bear longer and the 
pods are easier to gather. For full directions see pages 
59-62.
