Beans should not be planted too early, as they are 
very sensitive to cold and wet. Plant about the middle 
of April, when warm and favorable, and at intervals 
throughout the season for a succession until the latter 
part of August. Bush varieties should be planted in 
rows 2 feet apart, and the Beans 2 inches apart and 2 inches deep in the rows. 
Keep them well cultivated and draw the earth up to the stem, but only when 
dry.
