MONARCH SEED AND FEED COMPANY, MEDFORD, OREGON 
VEGETABLE SEEDS 
Dwarf or Bush Beans 
One pound will plant a row 100 feet long; about 1V4 bushels to the acre. 
HOW TO GROW DWARF or BUSH BEANS—Make the rows 18 inches or 2 feet apart, and drop the 
beans 4 inches apart in the row. If the soil is warm and loose, plant 2 inches deep; if rather cold and wet, 
plant only one inch deep. Beans, especially the yellow-podded varieties, will rot very easily if planted when 
the soil is wet and the atmosphere is cold. If you do not want to run the risk of replanting them, do not 
plant your beans until the soil is warm. Cultivate often but never when the plants are wet, as this brings 
on rust. Pick the beans as fast as they become fit to use; this makes them bear longer. Special Prices to 
market gardeners. Send your list to us for prices.
