GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEANS 
How to Grow Beans. Planting’s 
commence in the Lower South dur 
ing- January; in o'ur latitude, Feb¬ 
ruary and March. Sow 1% to 2 
inches deep, 3 to 4 inches apart, in 
rows 2 Vz to 3 Vz feet apart. Cul¬ 
tivate often until plants blossom. 
Deep cultivation when in bloom will 
cause many flowers to fall, and cul¬ 
tivating when vines are wet with 
dew may cause rust and spread an- 
thracnose if it is present. Beans are 
more delicious picked before the 
pods reach their full size. Frequent 
picking insures a prolonged bearing 
season. Two pounds will sow 100 
feet of row; 60 pounds (bushel), an 
acre.
