favorable, and at intervals throughout the season for a. succession, until the latter part of August. Bush 
varieties should be planted in drills 2 feet apart, and from two to six plants to the foot in a row. Keep 
them well cultivated and draw the earth up to the stem. For String Beans gather the pods clean as soon as 
fit for use. The plants will remain all the longer in bearing.
