BUCHANAN SEED CO. ^ MEMPHIS. TENNESSEE 
BUSH SNAP BEANS 
Beans are sensitive to both cold and wet, so do not plant till the ground is warm. To 
have a continuous supply, plant every two weeks until September; further South they may 
be planted even later. Make the rows 2 to 3 feet apart, drop the beans 3 inches apart 
and cover 1% to 2 inches deep. Give frequent but shallow cultivation up to blossoming 
time, not afterward, and never when the plants are wet. Plant in a light loamy soil that 
warms up quickly. One pound plants 60 feet. 
FIELD PLANTING —In rows 4 ft. apart; 1 bushel (60 lbs.) to acre. Ready in 10 weeks.
