How to Grow_ Beans. Plantings 
commence in the Lower South during 






January; in ‘our latitude, February 
and March. Sow 1% to 2 inches 
deep, 38 to 4 inches apart, in rows 
2% to 3% ° feet apart. Cultivate 
often until plants blossom. Deep cul- 
tivation when in bloom will cause 



many flowers to fall, and cultivating 
when vines are wet with dew may 
cause rust and spread anthracnose if 
it is present. Beans are more deli- 
cious picked before the pods reach 
their full size. Frequent picking in- 
sures a prolonged bearing season. 
Two pounds will sow 100 feet of 
row; 60 pounds (bushel), an acre.
