Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod. 
BUSH BEANS 
1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 1 44 bushels per acre. 
Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil is well warmed. Sow- 
ing 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. 7 
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. -
