BEANS /ox the Home Garden , 
1 lb. will plant 100 feet of drill; 60 to 90 lbs. will plant an acre. i 
Beans succeed best in warm, light soil of at least average fertility. In this | 
latitude it is not usually safe to plant much earlier than the middle of May. | 
If planting is made earlier and is followed by especially wet or cold weather, 
the planter should not blame the seedsman if beans fail to germinate. Plant 
the dwarf varieties in drills 2 to 3 feet apart, about 2 inches deep, and thin 
plants 4 to 6 inches apart. Give frequent, shallow cultivation until time of 
blossoming.
