GREEN-POD BUSH BEANS 
Beans are one of the most satisfactory and productive vegetables, because they grow so 
vigorously and bear with such wonderful abundance. Plants grow. from 15 to 20 in. tall. 
Do not sow seed until the weather is quite warm; in the vicinity of Philadelphia, early 
May is about the right time for the first sowing. A warm, well-drained, sandy loam is 
best suited. The pods are most delicious if picked before they have reached full size, 
and the plants will continue bearing much longer. To provide for a continuous supply 
of tender beans, seed should be sown every 2 weeks until early August. Plant in rows not 
less than 18 in. apart; space seed 2 to 3 in. apart in the row, cover with 2 in. of soil, and firm 
the surface to assist germination. One pkt. of seed will sow about 25 ft. of row; one Ib. 150 ft.
