OLDS’ GARDEN BEANS 
Our beans are Northwestern grown, thoroughly rogued and carefully hand-picked. Beans grown in the Northwest 
at high altitudes are free from anthracnose and other diseases so apt to be found with beans growns at lower alti¬ 
tudes. Our packets each contain seed enough to plant from 10 to 15 feet of' drill. One pound will plant 50 to 75 
feet of drill; 75 pounds one acre. 
CULTURE: Sow the bush varieties as soon as the ground is warm and the season favorable. Plant in rows 2 
feet apart, the beans 2 inches apart in the row and IY 2 inches deep. For pole beans use poles 8 to 10 feet long and 
set them about 4 feet apart. Plant 4 to 6 beans about one inch deep around each pole and later thin to 3 plants 
to a pole. 
Beans thrive best in a sandy loam but grow very well in any soil. Keep well hoed, drawing the earth up to the 
stems. Do not work when the plants are wet as this will cause rust and injury to the crop. Plant every two weeks 
for succession. For larger amounts than quoted, see our Market Gardeners’ Price List, page 41. The figure after each 
variety shows the time required after the seed is sown before the first picking is ready.
