ENGLISH BEANS. 
Plant as early in spring as the ground can be worked, from two to four 
inches apart, in drills from twenty-four to thirty inches apart. As soon as the 
plants are in full blossom, and the lower pods begin to set, pinch off the tops; 
this will insure the filling of the pods and hasten the maturity of the seed. 
Beans ordered by mail are subject to an extra charge of 15 cents per quart for 
postage . Pints furnished at quart rates.

BEANS—Dwarf or Bush. 
A succession of sowings can be made from the first week in May until 
August. Plant in drills about two inches deep, and from eighteen inches to 
two feet apart, according to the richness of the soil; the poorer the soil, the 
closer they can be planted; the plants should be about three inches apart. 
One quart is sufficient for one hundred feet of drill; two bushels for one acre in 
drills.
