One pound will plant 100 feet, 60 pounds an acre. 
Bush Beans should be planted about the last of May. The furrows should be at least 2 feet apart. A pound 
of wood ashes should be hoed into every 10 feet of furrow, leaving the furrow not more than an inch deep. 
Plant the Beans 4 inches apart in the furrow and cover them with an inch of soil. They come up in from 
8 to 10 days, and the plants mature in from 6 to 9 weeks. Thorough tilling is essential; the ground must
