ARTICHOKE 
Raised for the young green flower heads which are 
usually boiled or baked and eaten with a butter sauce. 
CULTURE. To obtain globes the first year, the seed 
should be sown in February or March and kept growing 
until the weather is suitable to transplant to the open 
ground. Seed sown in May will not bear globes until 
the following year. Transplant into rows three feet 
apart in the row. Protect through the winter by mulch- 
ing and earthing up around the plants. 
GREEN GLOBE. This is the very best variety. Large 
globular green heads, very tender and _ delicious. 
Pkt. 15¢; 12 oz. 50¢; oz. 85c. : 
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 culti- 
vation, to three feet apart for horse cultivation. Culti- 
vate 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. :
