Beans—English 
(Vicia faba) 
German, “Grosse Bohnen.”—French, “Feve de Marais.”— 
Spanish, “Haba” 
Plant as early in spring as the ground can be worked. 
The rows should he 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. Large seeded, standard variety. Pkt., 
10 c; qt., 35 c; pk., $ 2 . 50 . 
Beans—Dwarf or Bush 
(Phaseolus) 
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. 
One quart of beans will sow 100 feet of drill. 
Strlngrless Green Pod 
Beans—Green Podded Varieties 
A largo percentage of the 1915 seed Bean crop was de¬ 
stroyed or rendered unfit for seed purposes by continuous 
wet weather and early frosts, resulting in high prices and 
makes it most difficult to secure enough seed Beans, espe¬ 
cially wax podded varieties, to supply the normal demand. 
We offer very carefully selected stocks and subject to 
being unsold. 
We supply packets of Beans at 15 cents each. 
Dwarf Horticultural. Large green pods 
splashed with red, the popular shell
