These green beans bear so abundantly that the variety is named "Bountiful". It is one of the finest for your home garden. 



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 1J/2 to 2 inches deep. Thin the young plants to 

 3 to 6 inches apart in the rows. 



I 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 insures 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.
