settled, warm weather in spring, and at intervals for succession until August. Rows may be made 2 feet apart, and the Beans 
planted a few inches apart in the drills, or 3 or 4 Beans in hills 
6 to 8 inches apart. Cultivate and hoe frequently, always, how- 
ever, when the vines are perfectly dry. In hoeing draw the soil 
up towards the rows or plants. For string Beans gather the pods 
clean as soon as fit for use.
