BEANS 
1 pound for 100 hills; 60 lbs. will plant an acre 
We catalog Only the Leading and Best Varieties 
CULTURE: Beans must not be planted until danger of 
frost is past and the soil is quite warm. Plant in rows 
18 to 30 inches apart for hand cultivation, or 22 to 3 
feet apart for field culture. Space the seed 2 to 3 inches 
apart in the rows and cover with 1 to 2 inches of soil. 
For a continuous supply make sowings every 2 weeks 
until 10 weeks before the first expected frost. Beans 
are more delicious and bear longer when picked before 
fully matured. Give frequent and shallow cultivation 
until blossoms appear. 
GREEN BUSH VARIETIES 
BOUNTIFUL or EARLY SIX WEEKS. 49 days. Is the 
earliest of the green varieties. A very productive 
bean, pods are about 5 inches long, straight, 
handsome, rather light green, flat and of good 
quality. It is very popular on Eastern Markets. 
Similar to Plentiful. 
ROGERS LONGREEN. Similar to Tendergreen, but 
pods are about an inch longer, round and of 
high table quality. Plants large, very productive. 

LOGAN. Same class as Tendergreen but yields 
considerably more round podded, fleshy, green 
beans of excellent quality. Main feature is its 
resistance to mosdic, a disease causing mottled 
effect on both pods and plants. 
FULL MEASURE. (Gold Seal Quality.) 54 days.

mains tender and meaty after the bean is fully 
matured. Pods 6 to 6% inches long, round, 
straight and firm. Recommended for home gar- 
dens.
