HA-ow te Grow 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 
warm; in the vicinity of Philadelphia, early May is about 
20 in. tall. _ Do not sow seed until the soil is quite 
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 le 
ss 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. 
Treat seed with Legume Aid before planting to increase the yield.
