well during the summer,

Beans 
TO HAVE PLENTY OF BEANS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER— A fine idea is to plant both early and 
late varieties every two weeks from early Spring through the Summer. As most beans are ready to eat in from 45 
to 50 days, keep planting just as long as there is that much time left before frost. This will give you plenty of the 
luscious health-giving beans for your table and for canning from early Summer to late Fall. 
CULTURE —Make your first planting as soon as 
the soil is warm and danger of frost is past. Plant 
in rows 2 feet apart, dropping the seed 3 to 4 inches 
apart and 2 inches deep. Cultivate thoroughly but 
not when the vines are wet. 
QUANTITY OF SEED— One pound of beans 
(except Limas) should plant a 100 foot row, 90 pounds 
will be required for an acre of ground. Bush Lima beans 
—one pound will plant 75 hills and 40 pounds will 
plant an acre.
