BEANS, Dwarf, or Bush 



(23ufd) 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 hoeings, 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 of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; two bushels will sow an acre.
