BEANS, DWARF or BUSH. (33u|d) 23ofcnen.) EANS are among our most valuable farinaceous foods, and form a market staple everywhere. The seeds should not be planted before the ground becomes light and warm, in favorable seasons usually about the first of May. Bush Limas should not be planted so early as other sorts, as Limas are particularly sensitive to cold and damp. The soil should be rich and mellow, and the seeds scattered about 3 inches apart in drills from 3 to 3% feet apart, and covered about 2 inches deep. The plants will need frequent hoeing, but should never be cultivated when the leaves are wet with dew or rain, as this will cause them to rust. Successive sowings made at intervals of about 2 weeks until the middle of July will give a plentiful supply of Beans all season. One quart of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 2 bushels will sow an acre. For Beans sent by mail, add postage at the rate of 8 cts. per pint, IS cts. per quart. WAX, or YELLOW-PODDED BEANS. Golden "Wax. (Original strain.) A very popular variety, more generally cultivated than any other sort, and in our trials it has proved itself superior in all respects to the so-called Improved Golden Wax. Finer pods, better color and more tender. The vines are hardy, productive; pods long, straight, flatfish, very fleshy and wax-like, and of the best quality. The Beans are small, oval, white, shaded with purplish red.
