CULTURE. To obtain globes the first

open ground. Seed sown in May will not 
bear globes until the following year.

ting the plants two feet apart in the row.

and earthing up around the plants.

Large elongated qreen heads, very tender 
and delicious. Pkt. 15¢; VW oz. 30c;

BEANS 
CULTURE. A light loam is best adapted to a perfect bean crop. Plant as soon as the 
ground has become thoroughly warm in rows from two feet for hand cultivation, to three 
feet apart for horse cultivation. Cultivate thoroughly and often, keeping a mulch of loose 
soil at all times. When beans are in bloom cultivate shallow, as deep cultivation at this 
time causes many blossoms to drop, decreasing the yield. This extra effort will more than 
repay you in the quality and quantity of your crop. For a succession plant every two weeks. 
One pound for 50 feet of row, 45 to 100 pounds per acre.
