BUSH SHELL BEANS 
may be used either green or dried 
Grown mostly as dried beans for winter use; the 
pods of Dwarf and French Horticultural may be 
used, when young, as snap beans. The culture is 
similar to that recommended for bush beans on 
page 59, but shell beans should be left on the plants 
until the pods are matured. The bushes are then cut, 
allowed to dry, and the beans threshed and thor- 
oughly dried out before they are put away for later 
use. A pkt. will sow about 25 ft. of row; one Ib. 150 
ft. of row. Many varieties of pole beans, listed on 
page 61, are also desirable as shell beans.
