Plant after danger of frost, in a warm, fertile and well drained, mel- 
low soil. Drop 3 to 5 seeds, 14% inches deep per hill, 2 to 3 feet apart in

86 Logan Giant. (65 days.) There is no bean of its class that we

long, broad, round and slightly curved. From ten days to two weeks 
earlier than Kentucky Wonder.
