results even in very poor soil if you

Beans or Peas without treating the 
seed, once you have tried it. Gar¬

- PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS - 
Plant in drills VA inches deep and drop the beans 3 inches apart in the drills. The rows should be 2 to 3 ft. apart. Beans with 
the exception of No. 132 are sensitive to cold and wet, and should not be planted until the danger of frost is over and the ground 
is warm. A sandy loam is best and with the use of Nitragin any soil will do. Up to the time of blooming the plants should have 
frequent light cultivation; 1 / 2 pounds will plant 100 feet of drill, 90 pounds per acre. For fall crop make a new planting about 
the first week in August.
