f'MITMDC Beans respond very readily to good soil and cultivation. A 
LULIUKC. light, rich, well-drained loam is the most desirable. The 
use of manure is advisable but should be used sparingly as it might make 
the plant run too much to vine. There is no plant more sensitive to cold and 
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. 
^rrn tljckji crtlullKir For rotation, plant at intervals of from one to two weeks. 
Kfctr I rlt/Vl V^L->ivlilNO. Th_e 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.
