Add 10c. per pint, 20c. per quart for postage, when ordered to be sent by mail. CULTURE.—Beans are extremely sensitive to frost and cold, and should not be planted before the middle of Spring, when the ground has become light and warm. Select a dry, shel- tered spot which has been previously slightly man- ured and well dug ; make drills two inches deep and two feet apart, and plant the Beans three inches apart in the drill, and cover not more than two inches deep. Hoe often, but only when dry, as earth scattered on the leaves when wet with dew or rain will cause them to rust and greatly injure the crop. Plant at intervals throughout the season, for a succession every two or three weeks. In the South plant from first of March to first of June ; for Fall gardens sow in August and the plants will bear abun- dantly until killed by frost. NOTES ON BEANS.— Wax beans are liable to run out, either by getting too many green pods in them or by losing their vigor by being bred too finely. New varieties of Wax Beans that show rust-proof qualities are usually the result of a cross between a pure yellow podded variety and a green podded one. The Golden Eyed Wax in our trial grounds, is the most hardy sort, and most free from rust this year. Wardwell's Kidney Wax is more tender, but is not retaining its rust-proof quality so well.
