German, “Bohne.”— French, “Haricot.”—Spanish, 
“Frijorenano” 
To obtain a continuous supply of beans throughout 
the season, make plantings every two weeks from early 
May until about the middle of July. Beans are usually 
planted 2 inches deep in drills sixteen or eighteen inches 
apart. Many growers claim, however, that larger yields 
are obtained if three or four beans are planted in a hill, 
the hills being about eight inches apart in the row. Cul¬ 
tivate frequently, but not deeply, and only when the 
plants are dry, as earth scattered on the foliage or pods 
when moist will often cause the development of rust. 
Tw-o pounds of beans will sow 100 feet of drill. 
Breeds Tewksbury Dwarf 
Horticultural 
Due to the unusual beauty and size of its pods, this 
variety brings consistently higher prices than any other 
Horticultural Bean sold on the Boston Market. When 
ready to pick, the yellowish surfaces of the pods are 
beautifully marbled and splashed with bright crimson. 
The vines bear great numbers of long pods, inclined to 
curve slightly, generally containing six beans each, al¬ 
though seven are not unusual. Until they have attained 
full size the pods are comparatively dull and inconspicu¬ 
ous, the color intensifying rapidly as maturity is reached. 
It is characteristic of the vines to throw out tendrils like 
those of pole beans, hut the plants are distinctly dwarf 
and upright, displaying no tendency to climb or sprawl 
over the ground. Our seed stock, which is of the original 
strain and true to type, is growm for us by one of the 
most experienced bean specialists in this State. Pkt., 25c;
