GREEN-POD BUSH BEANS 
Beans are one of the most satisfactory and productive vegetables, because they grow so vigorously 
and bear with such wonderful abundance. Plants of the Bush Beans range from 15 to 20 in. tall. 
Seed cannot be sown until the weather is quite warm. In the vicinity of Philadelphia, early May 
is about the right time for the first sowing of Bush Beans. A warm, well-drained, sandy loam is 
best suited. The beans are most delicious if they are picked before they have reached full size, and 
the plants will continue bearing much longer. The early varieties mature in from 
47 to 70 days. To provide for a continuous supply, seed should be sown every 10 
to 14 days up to August 10th. Plant in rows not less than 18 in. apart, cover with 
2 in. of soil, and firm the surface to assist germination. One pound of seed sown 
thinly fills a row 250 ft. long; usually 90 lbs. of seed are sown per acre.
