JOSEPH BRECK & SONS 
(Corporation.) 
BEANS-ENGLISH. 
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 pre¬ 
venting too much running to vine. 
Broad Windsor, the best variety for general use. Packet., 10 cents ; quart, 30 cents ; peck, $1.00 net. 
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 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.
