way, about 4 or 5 beans to the hill, eyes downward. When up and established, 
thin out to 3 plants in a hill. Plant about 20 lbs. to the acre.

serve and receive in the southern part 
of the United States, where they are 
found in practically every garden. 
They are frequently more tender, 
and yield larger crops than dwarf 
sorts. One planting lasts usually for 
the season. Slringless Refugee Wax Bean
