BEANS 
Beans like a well drained, rich and light loam. Plant about the 
middle of April when warm and favorable, and at intervals throughout 
the season for a succession, until the latter part of August. Bush 
varieties should be planted in drills 2 feet apart, and from two to six 
plants to the foot in a row. Keep them well cultivated and draw the 
earth up to the stem. For String Beans gather the pods as soon as 
fit for use. 
DWARF SHELL BEANS 
Sow in drills 2 feet apart as soon as warm weather has set in; soil
