BEANS, Dwarf, or Bush 



(SBujc^ Sor;nen) 



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 mel- 

 low, and the seeds scattered about 3 inches apart in drills that are 2 to 2Vi 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 100 feet of drill.
