BUSH SHELL BEANS — extensively grown for use as dry beans 
Red Kidney and White Marrowfat 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 72, 
but shell beans should be left on the plants until the pods are ma- 
tured. 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 lb. 150 ft. of row. 
Many pole beans, listed on page 76, are also desirable as shell beans.

different from white shell beans and are preferred by many. Prolific.
