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. Fre¬ 
quent 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 33^ 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.
