BEANS 
Beans, particularly the bush varieties, are one of the most satisfactory vegetables to 
grow. They adapt themselves to practically any condition of soil, succeeding particularly 
well in the virgin soil of newly made gardens. Successive sowings should be made throughout 
the season. The crop should always be picked promptly when matured, used immediately or 
canned for winter. Black Valentine, Masterpiece, and Golden Wax carry our highest recom¬ 
mendations.
