JOSEPH BRECK & SONS 
(Corporation)_ 
Beans — English » 
German, Grosse Bohtien .— French, Feve de Marais .— Spanish, Haba. 
Plant as early in spring as the ground can be worked. The rows should be three feet apart; set the seed in the rows 
six inches deep, four inches apart. As the pods get formed, top the plants, thereby preventing too much running to vine. 
Broad Windsor, The best variety for general use. Pkt. io cts.; qt. 35 cts.; pk. $2.00. 
Beans—Dwarf or Bush* 
German, Bohne. — French, Haricot. — Spanish. Frijorenano. . 
To afford a regular succession of crops throughout the season, plant every two weeks, from about the beginning 
of May to the end of summer; but not until the soil becomes warm, as they are very sensitive to cold. Plant in 
rows 18 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 of drill.
