2 THOS. GRISWOLD & GO., SOUTH WETHERSFIELD, CONN. 
BEANS 
Culture .—-As Beans are exceedingly tender it is useless to plant them until the ground is warm and dry. 
They succeed best in sandy loam, fertilized with well-rotted manure. Plant in drills 2 inches deep and 2 
feet apart, or in hills 2 feet apart each way. Place the beans 2 or 3 inches apart in the drills. Frequent 
but shallow cultivation should be given. For a succession throughout the season sow every two weeks 
until early September. One quart will plant 100 feet of drill; one bushel to the acre. 
Pole or Running varieties need more room and should be planted in hills about 3^2 feet apart each way. 
The Limas are even more tender than the Dwarfs and should not be planted before warm weather sets in. 
One quart will plant 75 hills. * 
Dwarf Bean Crops were very short this past season and stocks are limited.
