Hardie’s Garden Beans 
BEANS BEING EASILY GROWN, HAVE BECOME ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR 
GARDEN VEGETABLES. 
You would be unable to secure seed of better quality anywhere. The most successful truck 
gardeners have learned to depend on Hardie’s Beans. 
CULTURE: Beans are tender, and should not be planted until all danger from frost is past. 
No time is gained by planting them before the ground becomes warm. Drop the beans two or 
three inches apart, in rows standing eighteen inches or two feet apart; cultivate only when 
dry; draw the soil slightly toward them. They will make green beans in six or eight weeks; 
sow every two weeks for a succession, if seasonable, up to September.
