BEANS 
T HE Dwarf Beans are earliest and most hardy, as a general rule. In garden culture Beans are usually planted about two inches 
deep, in rows eighteen inches apart, and three inches apart in the row; in field culture, in drills two to three feet apart, so as to 
cultivate with horse one way. Until blossoming season, frequent but shallow cultivation should be given. Seed of the large varieties 
should be planted with the eye downward. One quart of seed will be sufficient for ioo hills of Limas, and 250 to 300 hills of the other 
varieties, and for about 100 feet of drill. Sow one bushel per acre. For prices on larger quantities, see page ? .
