Bush or Snap Beans 
Culture—1 lb. of seed will sow 100 feet of row; 60 lbs. will plant one acre. Begin planting 
in this section about the middle of March and make plantings three or four weeks apart up 
to September 1st. This will give green Beans all through the season. Keep young Beans 
picked—^o not let them go to seed; it will prolong the bearing season of the plcmts. 
Sow in drills 2 to 3 ft. apart, dropping a Bean every 3 to 4 inches, cover about 1 inch, 
plant in good, loamy soil, avoid heavy clay or cold places, cultivate often until vines begin 
to bloom. For best results inoculate seed with NITRAGIN.
