BEANS FOR THE GARDEN 
Beans like a dry and rather light soil; though they will do well in any garden soil if not planted too 
early in the spring. Dwarfs are earliest, and most hardy as a general rule. In garden culture Beans are 
generally planted in rows eighteen inches apart, 
and three inches apart in the row ; for field cul¬ 
ture, in drills, so as to cultivate with horse one 
way. Running Beans arc planted in hills, three feet 
apart each way.
