VEGETABLE SEEDS 
DWARF OR BUSH BEANS 
One pound will plant a row 100 feet long; 
about 1% bushels to the acre 
How to Grow Dwarf or Bush Beans. Make the rows 18 inches 
or 2 feet apart, and drop the beans 4 inches apart in the row. 
If the soil is warm and loose, plant 2 inches deep; if rather 
cold and wet, plant only one inch deep. Beans, especially the 
yellow-podded varieties, will rot very easily if planted when 
the soil is wet and the atmosphere is cold. If you do not want 
to run the risk of replanting them, do not plant your beans 
until the soil is warm. Cultivate often but never when the 
plants are wet, as this brings on rust. Pick the beans as fast 
as they become fit to use; this makes them bear longer. Special
