Maule’s Green-Podded Bush Beans 
Culture : Beans must not be sown until the ground has warmed up and all danger of frost is past. Sow in drills 
18 to 30 in. apart and cover the seed with 1 to 2 in. of fine soil. Within the rows the seeds should be placed 
2 to 3 in. apart. For a succession of tender pods, sow every two weeks until Aug. 15th. One packet will sow about 
25 ft. of row. Use one lb. to 100 ft. of drill or 60 lbs. per acre. Give frequent and shallow cultivation to preserve 
the soil moisture but never touch the foliage while wet with dew to prevent the spread of disease germs.
