II TMDC Beans respond very readily to good soil and cultivation. A« 
LfULIUKb. light, rich, well-drained loam is the most desirable. The; 
use of manure is advisable but should be used sparingly as it might make j| 
the plant run too much to vine. There is no plant more sensitive to cold and i 
wet than the bean. We therefore advise not to plant until the ground has become ■ 
dry and warm. The largest returns will result in planting in drills from 2 to 3 feet 
apart. Cover the seed one and one-half inches deep and thin the young plants 3 to 6 , 
inches apart in the row. If planted in hills about 2 feet apart each way. 
i/rrn TLJCRil rotation, plant at intervals of from one to two weeks. 
Kbbr I Nb/Vl OLJmllN':?. The plants until time of blossoming should have frequent 
shallow cultivation, but any mutilation of the roots by cultivation after the plants , 
come into blossom is likely to cause the blossoms to blast and so cut off the crop. ' 
Cultivation should always be very shallow and it is useless to expect a crop from a ‘ 
field so poorly prepared as to need deep stirring after planting.
