Shell Beans

Shell beans are grown for
winter use. though most Varle-
ties may also be eaten when
green. These include navy
beans, kidney beans. marrow
beans and English Broad Wind
sor. Considering the meat situ-
alton and the fact that dried
beans are a good substitute for
meat. II might pay to grow your
own this year.
Next comes the newest type
of beans. newest in this coun-
try. the edible soybeans. These
don't taste any more like other
types than limas do like bush
beans. They have a distinctive
nutty flavor of their own and if
you like the taste, you VIII have
practically discovered a new
vegetable. These beans are eX-
ceptlonally easy TO grow, re-
quiring no care other than
planting.
And last. don't forget the or
namental beans which first fur
niSh lovely flowers and then are
good to eat. These include the
Scarlet Runner bean and its
white f1owered counterpart.
Even the smallest garden may
have planting of these, up A
trellls or porch or on a fence.

Depth

II goes practically without
saving that the soil should be
dug to a depth of at least six or
eight inches. that stones and
such should be removed. and
that the clOds should be broken
by thorough raking till the sur
face is fine.
The strawberry plants should
come with a large root system
and compact tops. Any small,
weak plants may as well be dis
Carded. 1t is important to keep
the plants from willing before
they are set. If they arrive at
night and cannot be planted
until the next day, put the roots
in a pail of water for the night.
When setting out strawberry
plants look for the crown from
which the leaves spring. This
crown must be set exactly at
soil level and too shallow or too
deep planting will have a de-
Cided effect on later growth.

Many Systems

There are A number of differ
ent systems of growing straw
berries. The one most used by
commercial growers, therefore

the matted row" This involves
the least labor, but does not
produce quite as many berries
as some of the other systems,
nor are they quite as large.

Strawberries may be grown
along the edges of perennial
borders or along paths or al the
end of vegetable garden. They
are one of the easiest fruits for
the home gardener 10 grow
and one Of the most profitable.
Detroit evening times., 1945-04-22
Advantages

There are AS usual. advan-
tages and disadvantages 10
growing each type. Bush beans
are harder, but produce for
shorter time than pole beans.
The yield begins earlier with
bush beans because, since they
are harder, they may be plant
ed earlier. On the other hand,
pole beans will begin 10 yield
near the bottom of the vine and
the same vines will keep on
bearing for most of the summer,
just as long as the beans are
kept picked. The crop is pro-
duced further and further up
the vine until a ladder is neces-
sary for picking.
Then, of course, there are the
lima beans. These come in bush
and pole forms too. The bush
form is easier 10 grow and is
earlier and produces more for
the space occupied, but the pole
form yields better.

Hybrid Perpetuals

Three hybrid perpetuals that
give much bloom for little care
are the well known white-Frau
Karl Drushki, the clear pink
Mrs. John Laing and the Grim
son Henry Nevard The last
two are very fragrant
Among the horihundaS- that

and Crown Princess Ingrld
(which ! am spelling in Eng
lish).
Topaz and Summer Snow are
low growing-good for plant
ing in front of other roses. The
Aachen roses will grow in semi
shade.
Then Mr. Pfister mentioned
Maybelle Stearns, listed AS a
dooryard rose. II is peach

TOMORROW the Victory Car

main auditorium on the twelfth
floor and is open 10 the public
during store hours without

Included in the display will
be at least seven model gar
dens. There will be two gardens
showing what vegetables may

vegetables best suited to stor-
age. a junior garden and an
herb garden. The vegetables
are. of course, artificial but
the plans and methods are real.

Variety
In Beans

DEANS are among the easiest
ID OF all vegetables 10 grow.
They produce a great deal for
the space they occupy and they
are available in great variety.
Now. when food is needed so
badly, the gardener should take
advantage of the crops that pro-
duce easily and widen his horl-
zon in their direction.
The most popular beans are
undoubtedly those that used 10
be known as string beans, but
now are bred minus the strings
and are therefore called bush
beans. These come as green or
wax types. The same two types
are available as pole beans.

Tie Canes TO Wire

Train these up vertically. As
canes further 10 the sides are

Soft cord or raffia or some
thing of that sort is the best

The loan is stated to have been
made at the request of the

In addition 10 the plant, the
company has a working capital
of approx imately SIS. .000, 900
from the RFC loan.
The company is reported to be
operating about even, without
allowing anything for interest or
