How to Grow Bush Beans 
Green and Yellow Podded Bush Beans (originally called string beans) Level. in almost any good garden 
soil but do best ina warm, well-drained, sandy loam. Plant seed when all danger of frost is past and the soil 
is quite warm, in rows 18 to 30 in. apart for hand cultivation or 2)% to 3 ft. apart for field cultivation. Make 
furrows about 2 in. deep and space the beans 2 to 3 in. apart in the row. Cover with fine soil and firm the 
soil over the seed with your foot or the back of a rake to insure good germination. When plants are 2 or 3 in. 
high, thin to stand 4 to 6 in. apart in the row. For a continuous supply of tender pods, make repeated sowings 
every 2 weeks, allowing plenty of time for the last sowing to bear before frost. Plants grow 15 to 20 in. tall 
One pkt. of seed will sow about 25 ft. of row; one lb., 150 ft.
