on light loam. Sow 2 pounds to 100 feet of drill, or 60 pounds per acre. Rows may be from 18 inches to 2 feet apart, the beans 
2 to 4 inches apart and 1 to 2 inches deep. A succession of plantings every two weeks will provide a constant supply of fresh 
beans for the table. Beans weigh 60 pounds per bushel.
