A ABLINC-BOYCE SEED CO., SEATTLE 
BEANS 
Beans require a ,. D _. 
friable soil, with plenty 
of moisture, and they are 
very sensitive to 
frost. They should 
not be sown ear- 
lier than April. In 
the garden the 
soil should be 
made mellow and 
rich, and all pole 
varieties should 
be provided with 
poles or a trellis 
on which to climb. 
For a garden crop plant 
string beans in a suc- 
cession every four 
weeks throughout the 
season. Sow in rows 
18 inches to 24 inches 
apart and cover from 
one to two inches deep 
but not more. Keep 
the pods picked and 
the vines well watered 
and the beans will 
continue bearing much 
longer than if vines 
are allowed to become 
dry.
