Hardie’s Garden Beans 
BEANS BEING EASILY GROWN, HAVE BECOME ONE OF THE 
MOST POPULAR GARDEN VEGETABLES. 
You would be unable to secure seed of better quality anywhere. The most 
successful truck gardeners have learned to depend on Hardie’s Beans. 
CULTURE—Beans are tender, and should not be planted until all danger 
from frost is past. No time is gained by planting them before the ground 
becomes warm. Drop the beans two or three inches apart, in rows standing 
eighteen inches or two feet apart; cultivate only when dry; draw the soil 
slightly towards them. They will make green beans in six or eight weeks ; 
sow every two weeks for a succession, if seasonable, up to September.
