CULTURE: Sow the bush varieties as soon 
as the ground is warm and the season favorable. 
Plant in rows 2 feet apart, the beans 2 inches 
apart in the row and 1% inches deep. For pole 
beans use poles 8 to 10 feet long and set them 
about 4 feet apart. Plant 4 to 6 beans about 
one inch deep around each pole and later thin 
to three plants to a pole. One pound will plant 
50 to 75 feet of drill, 75 pounds one acre. Our 
packets contain enough seed to plant 10 to 15 
feet of drill. 
Beans thrive best in a sandy loam but grow 
very well in any soil. Keep well hoed, drawing 
the earth up to the stems. Do not work when 
the plants are wet as this will cause rust and 
injury to the crop. Plant every two weeks for 
succession. For larger amounts than quoted, 
see our Market Gardeners’ Price List opposite 
page 5. The figure after each variety shows the 
time required after the seed is sown before the 
first picking is ready. 
11. PLENTIFUL. (50 days.) Our 
Green Pod Bean. See page 31. 
* 15. STRINGLESS GREEN POD. (52 
days.) A bush or dwarf variety. It is early, 
hardy and productive, bearing handsome dark

green pod is wanted. Seeds coffee brown. 2-02.
