BEANS—DWARF WAX VARIETIES 
Bohnen (Ger.) Faginoli (It.) 
Culture. Beans should not be planted until the ground is warm, as cold and 
wet weather will cause the seed to rot. For garden culture plant four or five 
seeds in hills one foot apart and the rows 18 inches apart. For field culture make 
the rows three or three and one-half feet apart, and cover with two 
inches of mellow soil. Do not hoe or cultivate while the plants are 
wet with dew or rain, as getting the leaves bespattered with earth causes 
rust, which injures the crop.
