 Bush Bean 



Culture — Plant after the weather has become firmly settled, say around 

 the middle of May in the latitude of Philadelphia. Any good soil will produce 

 a heavy crop but well-enriched sandy loam is particularly productive. Sow 

 seeds in rows 2 to 2j feet apart dropping the beans 4 inches apart in the row. 

 Cover about 2 inches deep. Cultivate throughout the season but only when 

 the plants are dry. Make succession sowings 2 weeks apart up to August 1. 

 Spray with Dutox to control Bean Beetles.
