HOW TO GROW DWARF OR BUSH BEANS. Make the rows 18 
inches or 2 feet apart, and drop the beans 4 inches apart in 
the row. If the soil is warm and loose, plant 2 inches deep; 
if rather cold and wet, plant only one inch deep. Beans, 
especially the yellow-podded varieties, will rot very easily if 
planted when the soil is wet and the atmosphere is cold. If 
you do not want to run the risk of replanting them, do not 
plant your beans until the soil is warm. Cultivate often but 
never when the plants are wet, as this brings on rust. Pick 
the beans as fast as they become fit to use; this makes them 
bear longer. Special prices to market gardeners. Send your
