Great Northern, Red Kidney, White Marrowfat and 
Michilite are grown mostly as dried beans for winter use; 
Dwarf and French Horticultural for green shelled beans, 
although pods may be used, when young, as snap beans. 
Culture is similar to that recommended for’bush beans 
on page 70, 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 thoroughly 
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 73, are also desir- 
able as shell beans.
