HUNT'S GARDEN BEANS 
Haricots Nains Frijoles Bobne 
Beans, particularly the bush varieties, are one of 
the most satisfactory vegetables to grow. They 
adapt themselves to practically any condition of 
soil, succeeding particularly well in the virgin soil of 
newly made gardens. Successive ‘sowings should be 
made throughout the season. Those not wanted for 
immediate use may be canned or allowed to ripen 
and dry for winter use. Black Valentine Stringless, 
Masterpiece, and Golden Wax carry our highest 
recommendations. 
Sow about May 1, in drills 2 inches deep; and 1% 
to 2 feet apart. Drop the Beans 3 inches apart, and 
cover not more than 2 inches. Sow every two weeks, 
up to the end of July, for a succession.
