BEANS 
DWARF GREEN PODDED SORTS 
Culture Beans may be planted any time from May 1st to August 1st. They do not require very fertile soil, thriving 
well on light loam. Sow 2 pounds to 100 feet of drill, or 60 pounds per acre. Rows may be from 18 inches to 2 feet 
apart, the beans 2 to 4 inches apart and 1 to 2 inches deep. A succession of plantings every two weeks will provide 
a constant supply of fresh beans for the table. Beans weigh 60 pounds per bushel.
