late green-podded beans. The 
pods are broad, thick, very

The soil should be deep, rich, light and sandy. For an 
early supply, sow in the spring, as soon as the ground becomes 
fit to work, in drills about 1 foot apart and 2 inches deep. 
For main crop sow first week in May, and for winter use sow 
in July. These dates apply for the latitude of Philadelphia; 
for the South sow earlier. North later. 
When the plants have attained 3 or 4 leaves, thin out so 
that they may stand 5 or 6 inches apart. Keep free from 
weeds. The roots may be taken up in October and stored in 
the cellar or in pits outside, like potatoes.
