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 23 feet apart dropping the beans 4 inches apart in the row. 
Cover about 2 inches deep. Cultivate only when dry. Make succession 
sowings 2 weeks apart up to August 1. Spray with Dutox to control Bean 
Beetles.
