ANS—Dwarf, or Snap-Short. Butckboknen, Ger. Haricot nam, Fr. Habas 6 Frijolenano, Span. All the varieties of this class are tender, and will not bear the cold, except the Mohawk, Yellow Six Weeks andRefugee varieties, which can be planted eariier than the rest, and are the first in our market. We have only madea selection of the best of the many varieties of the Dwarf, Bush, or Snap. Plant about the middle of April, ifthe ground is warm and the season favorable, and at intervals throughout the season for a succession, finishingabout the 15th of August. The best mode of culture is in rows 2 feet apart, and the beans 3 inches apart and 2inches deep in the rows. Keep well hoed, and draw the earth up to their stems, but only when dry, as earthscattered on the leaves when wet with rain or dew, will cause them to rust and injure the crop. Borelties and Special Yarieties in Vegetable Seeds for 18$4, will be foond in oar Supplement foilowing page 96 in tbis CaieDdar. DREERS GARDEN CALENDAR.
