SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



BUSH BEANS 



1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to IJ^ 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 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 frequently until the vines 

 are in blossom. To prevent blight do not cultivate deeply and avoid workinc 

 them while the vines are wet. Beans grow best in a warm, well-drained, sand^ 

 loam. For succession plant every two weeks until about August IBth.
