BUSH SHELL BEANS -— mey be used either green or dried 
Grown mostly as dried beans for winter use; the pods of Dwarf 
-and French Horticultural may be used, when young, as snap beans. 
The culture is similar to that recommended for bush beans on 
page 4, but shell beans should be left on the plants until the pods 
are matured. The bushes are then cut, allowed to dry, and the beans 
threshed and thoroughly dried out before they are put away for 
later use. A pkt. will sow about 25 ft. of row; one Ib. 150 ft. of 
row. Many varieties of pole beans, listed on page 7, are also 
desirable as shell beans.
