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 IV^ 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 warm, well-drained, sandy loam. 

 For succession plant every two weeks until about August IBth.
