Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dreer's Garden Calendar, 1876 All the varieties of this class are tender, and will not bear the cold. The first three on the list are considered the hardiest, and are generally the first planted. The Valentine and German Wax are, however, the favorite varieties in this market, the pods being round and stringless. The Wax Beans are a valuable variety, the pods are a waxy yellow, transparent, tender and stringless. Plant about the middle of April, and at intervals throughout the season for a succession, finishing about the 15th of August. The best mode of culture is in rows two feet apart.
