BEANS 
Beans like a well-drained, rich and light loam, and should not be 
planted too early, as they are very sensitive to cold and wet. Plant 
about the middle of April when warm and favorable, and at intervals 
throughout the season for a succession until the latter part of 
August. Bush varieties should be planted in drills 2 feet apart, and 
from two to six plants to the foot in a row. Keep them well culti¬ 
vated and draw the earth up to the stem.
