RELIABLE SEEDS 
Beans- BUSH 
CULTURE—Beans are easily frost-killed, so plant them at corn-planting time on light, 
dry land). Cold, wet weather will rot the seed in the ground and fresh manure causes a rank 
growth of vine with a lack of pods. If hand-cultivated, beans can be drilled in poor soil as 
close as eighteen inches, but in rich soil with horse cultivation, thirty inches are required. Drill 
six beans to a foot and cover one inch deep, or plant four beans to the hill eighteen by 
twenty-four inches apart. One quart of seed should plant 200 feet and five pecks plant an acre. 
Plant every third week for a succession up till August 1st, in the altitude of Sioux City. Pick 
beans before the bulge of seed appears and pick beans clean to continue the plants bearing. 
Give beans shallow cultivation and do not till the soil when the plant is in bloom or the plant 
in self-defense will drop its blossoms. To cultivate when wet is to invite rust.
