GARDEN BEANS 
Given moisture, this crop can be planted in 
the South in succession until the middle of 
August. 
The bush varieties should be planted 1% 
inches deep in drills, 18 inches or 2 feet apart, 
2 inches apart in the drill. The pole variety 
should be planted two or three beans in a hill, 
2 feet apart each way. Give them clean cul- 
tivation, mellowing the soil between them, but 
not going too deep. Do not hoe them when wet 
from dew or rain, as this induces rust of leaves 
or pods. , 
A pound will plant 100 feet of drill! 2 
bushels, or 120 lbs. to the acre in drills. For a 
larger yield of beans, use Nitragin.

POLE OR RUNNING 
BEANS 
A word about Pole Beans. Many growers 
hesitate to plant pole beans because of the 
scarcity of poles. This objection is easily over- 
come and the greater profit in growing the 
pole varieties should be sufficient reason for 
going to a little extra care. Plaster laths will 
answer the purpose and cost very little. 
Kentucky Wonder Green Pod—Brittle, string- 
less, meaty, delicious flavor. The plants are 
vigorous climbers; pods are borne profusely 
in clusters; they average from 7 to 9 inches

and very brittle when young.

ing type of Kentucky Wonder, resistant to 
certain forms of rust. Pods are 8 inches in

ous-growing wax-podded pole bean is very

der, but the very long pods are a little broad- 
er, very fleshy, and quite stringless as snaps.

bling those of the Bush Valentine dry beans, 
red speckled.
