BUSH BEANS 
1 pt. to 100 ft. of drill; 1 to 114 bu. 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 1% 
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 fre- 
quently until the vines begin to blossom. Disturbing the 
roots after the blossoms are formed will cause them to 
drop resulting in a greatly reduced crop. To prevent 
blight do not cultivate deeply and avoid working them 
while the vines are wet. Beans grow best in warm, 
well-drained, sandy loam. For succession plant every 
two weeks until about August 15th.
