CANNELLS’ SEED GUIDE, 1914 
RUNNER BEAN, CANNELLS’ FIRST PRIZE. 
CANNELLS’ BEANS, 
TALL KIDNEY RUNNER or CLIMBING. 
CULTURE.—Sowings may be made in April, under glass, and the plants put out 
about the middle of May where they are to stand. If, however, they are to be sown in the 
open ground, the first week in May and again in June and July. When thickly mulched 
and watered they will bear heavily. They should be occasionally topped, to induce side 
growth, and if possible stakes or supports of some kind should be used, as it allows of much 
finer growth and increased production of pods.

ARTICHOKE (Globe). 
CULTURE.—Sow in March or April in drills, 18 inches apart, and transplant 3 feet apart each way ; or seed can be sown in agentle heat, pricked 
oft' into small pots when large enough, gradually hardening them until the end of May, and then plant out in the beds already prepared for them. The 
first season they will only produce a partial crop ; but as it is a perennial, after being once planted, the beds continue to bear for several years. So as to 
secure fine heads they require good treatment; the soil should be rich.deep, and moist, and protected in winter by placing straw, bracken, or other dry 
material closely round the stems. It is advisable to cut the plants down after the heads are taken.

The crop of Runner B3ans is again exceedingly short, and prices are likely to fluctuate as the season advances. We 
however, have a good stock in hanj, but can only bind ourselves to these prices as long as stock lasts. We therefore 
advise ordering EARLY.
