SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Burpee's Stringless Green Pod. 



BUSH BEANS 



1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 1 Y, 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 K 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 loth.

Aids in Prevention of Bean Spot 



Bean Spot or Anthracnose is a disease caused by the fungus col- 

 letotrichum lindemuthianum, which is carried in seed, soil and dead 

 vines, from previous years crop. It is very rare or unknown in the 

 semi-arid region of the West where our Bean seed is grown, and with 

 this disease-free seed, the damage from spot may be reduced con- 

 siderably by the customary methods of crop rotation, burning the 

 refuse, destruction of weeds, and improving the air and soil drainage. 



For a successful crop, plant disease-free seed, and practice crop ro- 

 tation, never planting Beans on land where the same crop grew the 

 previous season; do not cultivate or walk through the Bean field or 

 pick beans while wet with dew or rain. If the disease is present, it is 

 then easily spread from one part of the field to another. Disease-free 

 soil is just as essential as clean seed in the production of a crop free 

 from spot.
