GREEN PODDED BUSH BEANS 
How to Grow Beans. Sow 1 % to 2 inches deep, 3 to 4 
inches apart, in rows 2% to 3% feet apart. Cultivate often 
unitl plants blossom. Deep cultivation when in bloom will 
cause many flowers to fall, and cultivating when vines are 
wet with dew may cause rust and spread anthracnose 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.
