DWARF, BUSH or SNAP In many localities the low-growing varieties are known under different names. Under this classification we include the best sorts selected after years of careful observation— Bush, Bunch, Snap, String, or Dwarf Beans. The bean is a semi-tropical plant and very susceptible to injury by frost. We therefore do not recommend planting until late in April or early in May. This crop will thrive on a variety of soils, but does best in a rich, light loam that is well drained. Such soil stimulates a rapid and vigorous growth of the plant which is necessary for the production of crisp, well-shaped and well-filled pods. Such a crop is also much less subject to disease than one grown under less favorable conditions. For Dwarf, Green Pod. or Wax varie- ties the seed should be planted in drills about 2 feet apart with a distance of from 2 to 4 inches between the beans in the row. The depth of covering depends upon the soil, and would vary from 1 to 3 inches. The heavier the soil, the less the covering required. The early varieties should be ready for use in about 6 weeks from the time of planting, and if the pods are picked as soon as they are edible, the plant will continue to bear for several weeks. For a suc- cession of crops the seed should be planted about every three weeks during the growing season. 1 qt. to 100 ft. of drill; bu. to the acre in drills. Burpee's Stringless Green Pod splendid 1———bean for home use, possessing so many merits that it is deserving of a place in every garden where beans are planted.
