Longfellow Snap Beans 
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 cultivated and draw the earth up to the 
stems.
