Grow Plenty Beans like a dry and rather light soil, though they will do well 
7 in any garden soil if not planted too early in the spring. Plant- 
of Beans ing should be delayed until all danger of frost is over. Dwarfs 
are earliest and most hardy as a general rule. In garden culture, 
beans are usually planted about 2 inches deep, in rows 18 inches apart, and 3 inches 
apart in the row; in field culture, in drills 2 to 3 feet apart so as to cultivate with horse 
one way. Until blossoming season, frequent but shallow cultivation should be given. 
Deep cultivation after the plants show bloom is very apt to ruin the crop. Two pounds 
will plant 100 feet of drill, and sixty pounds is sufficient for an acre. 
Running beans, especially the Limas, are even more tender than the Dwarfs; 
therefore, planting must be delayed still later, or until liability to rot in consequence 
of cold, damp weather has passed. Plant five or six beans in each hill, about 2 inches 
deep, hills 3 feet apart each way. Two pounds of seed will be sufficient for 100 hills of 
Limas, or 30 to 50 pounds of Limas per acre when drilled. 
To afford a regular succession of crops throughout the season, plant every two 
weeks after the first planting until midsummer.
