An Abundant Spring Crop of Beans Almost Invariably Yields Early and Profitable Returns 
BEANS 
Culture. Medium low land is best suited for this crop, such as low hammock, muck or pine land. Beans are 
a quick maturing crop and are usually followed by some other crop which gets the benefit of the fertilizer not 
taken up by the Beans. When another crop is to follow, plant the Beans in rows 5 feet apart, so that you 
can plant between the rows before you finish harvesting the Beans, but if a follow-crop is not desired, plant 
in 3-foot rows. As a general rule the green-podded sorts are the most salable. We list only the very best 
varieties for market and home use. 
Spring planting in the southern and central part of the State begins January 1 and continues until April. 
Pall Planting starts in August. In some sections there is summer planting of both bush and pole varieties. 
For a fall crop, plant from the middle of August until the middle of October; for a main crop on the Florida 
East Coast plant from October to December. Sow seed in drills, dropping a bean every 3 or 4 inches, and 
cover 2 inches deep. Use a high-grade bean or vegetable fertilizer. On muck soils apply 600 to 1200 pounds of 
fertilizer per acre. On sandy loam apply 1200 to 2000 pounds per acre, making one application. Ground 
should be thoroughly prepared, and fertilizer put out from a week to ten days before planting. There is always 
a risk of the fertilizer burning and killing the vitality of the seed when both are put in at the same time, and if 
the vitality is not killed it may cause the beans to come up baldheaded. Where the crop has had a setback, a 
hundred pounds of Nitrate of Soda per acre will do wonders. However, we do not recommend the use of nitrate 
except in rare cases, because both the carrying and eating quality may be materially injured by the excessive use 
of Nitrate of Soda. 
To control mildew and rust, use Sulfocide spray. Pyrox is also good to control diseases of beans, especial¬ 
ly anthracnose.
