Beans are the one vegetable that will grow anywhere. It is useless to plant them 
before the ground has become warm, and danger of early frost is past. Plant 114 to 2 
inches deep in rows 114 to 2 ft. apart and 2 to 4 inches apart in the row. Cultivate 
thoroughly until they commence to bloom, but never when the ground or plants are wet 
with rain or dew, as it would be sure to injure them and cause them to rust.
