CULTURE - Plant any time after the weather has become firmly settled, say around middle of May in the latitude of Philadelphia. 

 Most any soil will bear good crops, but well enriched sandy loam will give biggest returns per square foot. Sow seeds in rows 2 to 2\ feet 

 apart, dropping the beans four inches apart in the row, covering about 2 inches deep. Hoe as soon as seedlings appear, and when they 

 begin to form second or third pair of leaves, hill the rows slightly to support the plants. Repeat this hilling process as the plants grow 

 larger, bearing in mind, however, that beans should never be cultivated while the bushes are wet with either dew or rain. For a succession 

 of young, brittle pods, sow every other week up to August 1st.
