8 Beans 



if the first and second crops are killed, the third 

 will come through usually after the last frost. 



The bean is a most suitable vegetable for rotating 

 with other crops, as it does not draw heavily upon 

 the soil. 



Frequent shallow stirring of the soil should be 

 given in growing beans, and other than this they 

 will require little care. 



for a constant supply of beans, sow a succession 

 of crops. Planting later than six to eight weeks 

 before frost will not be likely to yield satisfactory 

 results. 



Bunch beans should be planted in rows from two 

 to three feet apart, and the plants should stand singly 

 three or four inches apart. 



Beans may be planted among corn, as they do not 

 demand much fertilization and the corn will not 

 suffer from a lack of it, though it is better to put 

 in brush or poles for climbing beans that they 

 may get plenty of sunlight. 



Beans should never be hoed or cultivated while the 

 vines are wet. To do so will cause rust to gather 

 on the beans and they will rapidly deteriorate in 

 quality.
