Beans—Dwarf or Bush 
A succession of sowings can be made 
from the first week in May until Au¬ 
gust. Plant in drills about two inches 
deep, and from eighteen inches to two 
feet apart, according to the richness 
of the soil; the poorer the soil the 
closer they can be planted; the plants 
should be about tnree inches apart. 
Frequent pickings insure a more pro¬ 
longed bearing season. Avoid jerking 
the plant, as this frequently disturbs 
young feeding roots. Use the finger 
nails to sever the stems. Do not pick 
when bushes are wet, as this may 
cause blight and rust. For succession 
in the home garden plant thirty feet of 
row every other week up to August. 
Two pounds are sufficient for 100 
feet of drill; 90 pounds for one 
acre in drills. 
Beans ordered by mail are sub¬ 
ject to an extra charge of eight 
cents per pound for postage. For 
larger shipments by mail, see rates 
on page 2 of cover. 
English Beans 
Broad Windsor. Plant as early in 
the spring as the ground can be 
worked, from two to four inches 
apart, in drills from twenty-four 
to thirty inches apart. As soon as 
the plants are in full blossom, and 
the lower pods begin to set, pinch 
off the tops; this will insure the 
filling of the pods and hasten the 
maturity of the seed.
