(2 lbs. to 100 feet in drill, or 150 hills; 120 lbs. to the acre, in drills) 
Beans require a light friable soil with plenty of moisture. In the garden, the soil should be made 
mellow and rich, and kept so. For garden, a succession of sowing can be made from the first week in 
May until the middle of June. Sow in rows 18 to 24 inches apart and cover from 1 to 2 inches deep, but 
not more. Keep the pods picked and the vines well watered and the Beans will continue bearing much 
longer. 
DWARF, OR BUSH, WAX OR YELLOW PODDED VARIETIES 
THE SIX BEST YELLOW PODDED BEANS FOR MONTANA AND THE NORTHWEST 
Early Wonder Wax — It is loaded with 
pods, five to seven inches long; flat, 
• plump, handsome and meaty, of a clear, 
waxy yellow color. The pods are ten¬ 
der, brittle and of fine texture. We 
claim this is the earliest wax-podded 
bean. Practically rust-proof; a bounti¬ 
ful yielder. in bearing for long season. 
It is an ideal Bean for the home and 
market gardener. It seems determined 
to yield a crop in good weather or bad.

Sure Crop Stringless Wax— The pods aver¬ 
age 6 to 7 inches long, are very meaty, 
flat but thick through, and we have 
never found a stringy specimen. Sure 
Crop Stringless Wax is very hardy and 
may therefor be planted several days 
earlier than the light seeded varieties.

Beans Are Indispensable in Every Garden 
Lima Beans are very susceptible to cold and the 
seed must not be planted until the ground has be¬ 
come thoroughly warm. The end of May is usually 
safe. Plant the seed edgewise (eye down) 6 inches 
apart in the row and cover two inches deep with 
fine soil. They should be sown on well enriched 
ground. 
Henderson’s Bush Lima —This variety belongs to the 
small Limas, known as Carolina or Sieva Lima 
Beans. On account of their hardiness they are 
worth growth in the North, where they will ma¬ 
ture early and produce an enormous crop. The fla¬ 
vor is delicious and sweet; bear tremendously, 
each pod being filled with flat light green Beans. 
Pkt., 5c; Yz- lb., 25c; 1 lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 5 lbs., 
$1.40. 
Burpee’s Bush Lima —Each plant develops into a 
rounded bush from 2 to 3 feet in diameter and 
from 18 to 24 inches tall. Pods are uniform in 
size with an average of five large Beans to a 
pod. They are thin-skinned and of fine flavor, 
and immense yielders. The pods are borne in 
clusters and are easily gathered. Pkt.. 5c; %-lb., 
25c; 1 lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 5 lbs., $1.40. 
Dwarf Shell Beans 
Shell Beans are grown exclusively to use as dried 
Beans during Winter. The food value of dry Beans 
is very high. Sow 16 o 24 lbs. to the acre. 
Great Northern Navy— This variety is especially 
adapted to Montana soil and climate, and is be¬ 
ing grown in increasing quantity each season. 
In our opinion it leads all other varieties of Navy 
Beans. Its flavor and tenderness as a baked 
Bean are “par excellence.” Pkt., 5c; *4-lb., 15c; 
lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c. 
English or Broad Windsor— This Bean is very 
hardy. Plant as soon as the soil is in good con¬ 
dition. Plant four inches apart and 2 inches 
deep in drills 3 feet apart, to insure well filled 
pods; pinch off the tops as soon as pods begin 
to set. 65 days. Pkt., 5c; Yz- lb., 25c; 1 lb., 40c.
