SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 
BUSH BEANS 
1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 1% bushels per acre. 
Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil is well warmed. 
Sowing too early will often result in a poor stand and uneven ripening. Sow the 
seed 14% to 2 inches deep in rows not less than 18 inches apart and firm the soil 
to assist germination. Allow the plants to stand 4 to 10 inches apart in the row 
according to variety. 
Shallow cultivating and hoeing should be done frequently until the vines 
are in blossom. To prevent blight do not cultivate deeply and avoid working 
them while the vines are wet. Beans grow best in a warm, well-drained, sandy 
loam. For succession plant every two weeks until about August 15th.
