Fresh 
Beans 
From 
Your 
Own 
Garden 
BEANS 
Beans should be planted in a good warm, 
dry soil after all danger of frost is past. 
Rows should be 2-3 feet apart and plants 
should be thinned to 4 to 6 inches apart in 
rows. If planted in hills drop 6 or 7 seeds 
per hill with hills about 2 feet apart each 
way. As plants grow larger pull dirt up 
around stems to support plants. For suc¬ 
cession of crop plant every two weeks un¬ 
til mid-summer. 
Bush Green Pod Beans 
Bush or dwarf vine-beans are the earliest 
and most hardy beans and are usually the 
first to be planted. They need no vine sup¬ 
port other than hilling dirt up around the 
stems for reasonable support. They pro¬ 
duce plentifully on good rich soil.

bushes per acre. (Postpaid 4th zone) lb. 
20c, 10 lbs. $1.50. 
ASPARAGUS 
To insure even germination soak seed in 
water 24 hours before planting. Sow at the 
rate of 15-20 seed per row foot and cover 
2 inches deep. Irrigate frequently and 
keep weeds down. In the late fall cut off 
all top growth and leave the roots in the 
bed until the following spring, when they 
should be dug and transplanted to the 
permanent bed. 
The permanent bed should be worked well 
to 16-18 inches deep and have a heavy 
aiessing of stable manure applied. Set 
roots with crowns up, 6-8 inches deep and 
2 feet apart in rows that are 4 feet apart. 
Cover roots with 3 or 4 inches of soil. As 
the roots make stronger growth more dirt, 
a little at a time, may be hilled up over the 
root crowns. Do not harvest spears the 
first year but allow full growth. In late fall 
after top growth has dried, cut and burn. 
Repeat this same process the second sea¬ 
son and by the third season, an abundant 
supply of delicious spears should be har¬ 
vested.
