1 oz. to sixty feet of drill; 5 lbs. to the acre. 
The seed should be soaked twenty-four hours be¬ 
fore planting. Sow in beds in rows, covering about 
1 inch. The following January transplant to furrows 
4 feet apart. Set the roots a foot apart in the fur¬ 
row, which should be 1 foot deep. Cover the roots 
with 2 or 3 inches of soil and on top of that put 3 or 4 
inches of well-rotted manure thoroughly mixed with the 
soil. This is sufficient for the first season, and will 
produce a light crop the following April. After the 
sprouts become too small for cutting, allow them to 
grow full size and in November cut them close to the 
ground and burn them. Hill the soil over each row. Very 
little irrigation is required. For the garden it is best, 
to secure one or two-year-old roots. Roots, 50 cents 
per doz., $2.00 per 100, $15.00 per 1,000, not prepaid.

1 lb. to 50 feet of drill; 50 lbs. to the acre. 
Beans should be made a continuous crop, and mav 
be planted from March to September 1. Plant, the seeds 
2 inches deep, one or two seeds every 4 inches in rows 
24 inches apart. If the planting is done early in the 
spring and the soil is heavy, cold and wet, the seed 
should not be put down more than half an inch, as deep 
planting in cold, wet soil will cause the seed to rot. 
Shallow planting should always be done during the 
cool spring months. During the hot summer months 
plant in moist earth to a depth of 3 inches. In the spring 
and fall irrigate, if possible, in the morning, but not. 
too soon after planting. In the hot weather _ irrigate m 
the evening. Cultivate the soil as soon as it sets dry 
enough after each irrigation. Round-podded Beans 
should not be planted later than September as the 
cool nights have a tendency to blight them. Use the 
flat-podded varieties for planting at this time, as they 
are hardier than the others. The earliest varieties are 
ready for the table in forty days.
