VEGETABLE SEEDS 
BOHNEN (Ger.)

One pound will plant 100 feet of row; 60 pounds per acre. 
The best soil is a well manured sandy loam, but very fine crops are pro¬ 
duced on an average garden soil. After the ground is perfectly warm 
(usually about May 1) sow at intervals of two weeks in order to se¬ 
cure a succession throughout the season. Sow 2 inches deep. 3 inches 
apart in rows 2 feet apart. Cover firmly. Cultivate often, keeping a 
mulch of loose soil at all times. Deep cultivation after flowering will 
cause many blooms to fall.
