An Abundant Spring Crop of Beans Invariably Yields Early and Profitable Returns 
BEANS 
Culture of Green and Wax-Podded Beans. Medium low land is best suited for this crop, such as low hammock, 
muck or pine land. Beans are a quick maturing crop and are usually followed by some other crop which gets 
the benefit of the fertilizer not taken by the beans. When another crop is to follow, plant the beans in rows 
5 feet apart, so that you can plant between the rows before you finish harvesting the beans, but if a follow- 
crop is not desired, plant in 3-foot rows. As a general rule the green-podded sorts are the most salable. We 
list only the very best varieties for market and home use. 
Spring planting in the southern and central part of the State begins January 1 and continues until April. 
Fall Planting starts in August. For a fall crop, plant from the middle of August until the middle of October; 
for a main crop on the Florida East Coast plant from October to December. Sow seed in drills, dropping a bean 
about every 2 inches, and cover 2 inches deep. Use a high-grade bean or vegetable fertilizer. On muck soils 
apply 600 to 1200 pounds of fertilizer per acre. On sandy loam apply 1200 to 2000 pounds per acre, making 
one application. Soil should be thoroughly prepared, and fertilizer put out from a week to ten days before 
planting. There is always a risk of the fertilizer burning and killing the vitality of the seed when both are put 
in at the same time, and if the vitality is not killed it may cause the beans to come up baldheaded. Where the 
crop has had a setback, a hundred pounds of Nitrate of Soda per acre will do wonders. However, we do not 
recommend the use of nitrate except in rare cases, because both the carrying and eating quality may be ma¬ 
terially injured by the excessive use of Nitrate of Soda. 
To control mildew and rust, use Sulfocide spray. Pyrox is also good to control diseases of beans, especial¬ 
ly anthracnose.
