Culture: Plant about the first of May in rows, 
placing the seed 2 to 3 inches apart in drills about 
2 x 4 inches deep. The rows should be about 2*4 
feet apart, and the soil slightly hilled, to insure 
good drainage and keep the Beans from touching 
the ground. Most Beans should be picked when 
about 5 inches long. Frequent pickings insure a 
more prolonged bearing season. For succession 
plant every two weeks up to August 1st.
