BELANS, Dwarf or Bush 



(Sujch Sofinen) 

 Beans should not be planted before the ground becomes light 

 and warm, 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% feet apart, and covered 

 about 2 inches deep. The plants will need frequent hoemgs, but 

 should not be cultivated when the leaves are wet with dew or rain, 

 as this will cause them to rust. 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 ot 

 seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 2 bushels will sow an acre.
