GARDEN BEANS 
1 Ib. to 100-ft. row. 60 Ibs. to acre. 
CULTURE. There is hardly a vegetable that contributes 
to the table as liberally as the snap bean. It is easy to 
grow and a heavy producer. Beans should be planted at 
intervals so that one may always have a fresh patch to 
depend upon. 
For the best crops beans require good rich soil and 
frequent hoeing. The young plants are very tender and 
cannot withstand even slight frosts. The seed should not 
be planted until the soil has become well warmed and 
all danger of frost is over. Spade or plow deeply and 
plant in rows 2 feet apart, scattering the seed about 3 
inches apart in the row, and cover 2 inches deep. Hoe 
frequently, but never when the foliage is damp from dew 
or rain. Hoeing should be done shallow so that the roots 
are not injured.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Yq oz. to 100-ft. row. 2 oz. to acre. 
Brussels Sprouts are miniature cabbage formed on a 
plant stalk. The delicate flavor is improved by a touch of 
frost. The culture is practically the same as for cabbage. 
For late use sow seed in June. 
LONG ISLAND—Hardy and heavy yielder. A fine vari- 
ety originated and grown in Denmark. Pkt. 15¢:

TABLE BEETS 
1 oz. to 100 feet. 5 lbs. to acre. 
CULTURE. Beets thrive best in deep, rich, sandy soil 
one which the roots can penetrate easily. For extra early 
use, the seed may be sown in hotbeds and the young 
plants set out in the open, trimming off the outer leaves. 
They can be transplanted easily in moist weather. For 
early use, spade or plow deeply, sow seed in rows 18 
inches apart, covering one-half inch deep. If dry, the soil 
should be well firmed about the seed. When three or four 
leaves have developed, thin out to four inches apart in 
the row, allowing the strongest to remain. Keep free from 
weeds. For main crop sow end of April. For Winter crop, 
sow end of June.
