BEANS 



Plant beans after all danger of frost is past, in warm, dry, 

 well-prepared soil. The rows should be 2 to 3 feet apart and 

 the seeds covered 13^ to 2 inches deep. Thin the young 

 plants to 3 to 6 inches apart in the rows. 



Shallow cultivation should be frequent until blossoming; 

 then stop to avoid injury to the roots. (Root injury causes 

 the blossoms to fall off.) For succession, plant every 2 

 weeks until midsummer. Frequent picking of the crop in- 

 sures long bearing. Two pounds of seed sow 100 feet, and 60 

 pounds sow 1 acre. 



Not less than 5 lbs. of a variety sold at the 10 lb. rate.
