PLANTING- DIRECTIONS— 1 lb. to 100 feet of row; 
1 acre requires 60 lbs. 
All varieties of beans should be planted when danger 
of frost is past. For a continuous supply plant every 
two weeks to about August 1st. Select a warm, sunny 
location and a fairly rich, sandy soil, if possible. Plant 
in rows 18 to 30 inches apart, 2 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches be¬ 
tween the plants in the row. Cultivate or hoe in dry weather, but 
avoid working among the beans when plants are wet, as this induces rust.
