For Good Crops It Is Important to Plant Pure Seeds. Growers Seeds Grow 
5 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. One-half ounce of seed will sow 50 feet 
of drill and produce about 500 plants. Drill the seed in rows about 
twenty-four inches apart, covering seed one inch. Cultivate well, keep 
free from weeds and they should be all right to transplant to permanent 
beds the following spring. Do not cut the plants till the third year. 
Every fall before the seed is ripe, cut tops and burn them, and give good 
top dressing of manure. Remember, the bed well planted will last for at 
least twenty years. Treat it well.

Beans 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. One pound to 100 feet of drill; about 
three-fourths bushel per acre of Bush Beans. Beans thrive on a rich, 
warm, light soil. It is not safe to plant until about the middle of May 
as the seed will rot in cold, wet 
ground, and the plants will not 
stand frost. Plant dwarf beans 
in rows two feet apart and 
from four to six inches apart 
in the rows. Lima Beans should 
not be planted until June first, 
when the soil is thoroughly 
warmed through. Limas will 
rot in cold ground.
