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 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 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.
