 in favorable seasons usually about the first of May. The soil should be 

 rich and mellow, and the seeds scattered about 3 inches apart in drills 

 that are 2 to 2 J/^ feet apart and covered about 2 inches deep. Successive 

 sowings, made at intervals of about two weeks until the middle of July, 

 will give a plentiful supply of Beans throughout the season. One quart 

 of seed will sow loo feet of drill.
