Beans are a must in any garden that has room for even a 
few short rows. Don’t confine your efforts to one planting only. 
Plant some every two weeks and you will have beans through- 
out the season. To keep them producing, pick them clean. Plant 
enough for canning and for freezing. Everybody likes beans. 
For best results treat bean seeds with Nitragin before plant- 
ing and be sure to spray or dust them to keep the bugs off.
