BEANS-DWARF OR BUSH. 
German, Bohnc .— French, Haricot .— Spanish, Irijorcnano . 
To afford a regular succession of crops throughout the season, plant every two weeks, from the mid¬ 
dle of spring to the end of summer ; but not until the soil becomes warm, as they are very sensitive to cold. 
Plant in rows, eighteen inches apart, two inches deep; cultivate frequently, but only when dry, as the 
scattering of earth on the foliage or pods, when moist, will cause them to become damaged with rust. 
One quart will plant 100-feet drill.
