BEANS 
DWARF FRENCH 
“Sydney Wonder” Dwarf French is a 
splendid cropper, and may be used 
green and also dried for winter use. 
These Beans thrive in almost any soil. All classes of Beans possess high nutritive 
value, due to their large percentage of protein. Beans adapt themselves to a great 
variety of soils and will, perhaps, give Better results on poor soils than almost any 
other crop. Nevertheless, Beans respond to good soils and good treatment fully as 
well as any other plant. For best results, a warm, loamy soil, full of humus, is to 
be recommended. Beans should not be planted until danger of frost is over, and the 
soil is in a good, warm condition.
