BEANS 
Beans should be planted in a good warm, dry soil after 
all danger of frost Is past. Rows should be 2-3 feet 
apart and plants should be thinned to 4 to 6 inches 
apart in rows. If planted in hills drop 6 or 7 seeds 
per hill with hills about 2 feet apart each way. As 
plants grow larger pull dirt up around stems to sup¬ 
port plants. For succession of crop plant every two 
weeks until mid-summer. 
Bush—Green Pod 
Bush or dwarf vine-beans are the earliest and most 
hardy beans and are usually the first to be planted.

up around the stems for reasonable support. They 
produce plentifully on good rich soil.
