Continuous Cultivation is the Best Fertilizer for Beans 
BEANS 
Improved Golden Wax Beans 
Sow about May 1, in drills 2 
inches deep, and 1 Yi to 2 feet apart. 
Drop the Beans 3 inches apart, and 
cover not more than 2 inches. Sow 
every two weeks, up to the end of 
July, for a succession. Immediately 
the pods have attained a fair size 
they should be removed, for the 
over-development of a few Beans 
will soon cause the plants to cease 
bearing. 
Bush Lima Beans 
Lima Beans should not be planted until all 
danger from frost is past. Sow bush varieties in 
drills 2 feet apart, the Beans about 6 inches apart, 
and cover about 2 inches. For Pole Limas, allow 
5 Beans to a hill; plant seed eyes down, 2 inches deep. 
Two pounds (or quart) of seed will sow 
100 feet of drill

Beans, particularly the bush varieties, are one of the most satisfactory vegetables to 
grow. They adapt themselves to practically any condition of soil, succeeding particularly 
well in the virgin soil of newly made gardens. Successive sowings should be made throughout 
the season. The crop should always be picked promptly when matured, used immediately or 
canned for winter. Black Valentine, Masterpiece, and Golden Wax carry our highest recom¬ 
mendations.
