A plant of Masterpiece 
as pulled on our Seed 
Farms. Note the yield. 
Although generally re¬ 
garded as a forcing Bean only, 
this variety has many friends 
also as an outdoor sort. 
Culture. —Plant as soon as danger of frost is over, placing the seeds 2 to 3 inches apart in 
drills and about 2 >2 inches deep. The rows should be about 2 y 2 feet apart, and the soil slightly 
hilled, to insure good drainage and to keep the Beans from touching the ground. Most Beans 
should be picked when about 4 inches long. Frequent pickings insure a more prolonged bearing 
season. Avoid jerking the plant, as this frequently disturbs young feeding-roots. Use the finger¬ 
nails to sever the stems. Do not cultivate or pick when bushes are wet, as this may cause blight and 
rust. For succession in the home-garden plant 30 feet of row every other week up to August 1.
