Continuous Cultivation is the Best Fertilizer for Beans 
BEANS 
Beans, particularly the bush varieties, are 
one of the most satisfactory vegetables to 
grow. They adapt themselves to practically 
any condition of soil, succeeding particularly 
well in the virgin soil of newly made gardens. 
Successive sowings should be made through¬ 
out the season. The crop should always be 
picked promptly when matured, used im¬ 
mediately or canned for winter. Black 
Valentine, Masterpiece, and Golden Wax 
carry our highest recommendations. 
Sow about May 1, in drills 2 inches deep, and 
1J /2 to 2 feet apart. Drop the Beans 3 inches apart, 
and cover not more than 2 inches. Sow every two 
weeks, up to the end of July, for a succession. Im¬ 
mediately the pods have attained a fair size they 
should be removed, for the over-development of a 
few Beans will soon cause the plants to cease 
bearing.
