Plant lots of Beans this year. 
5 or 6 pounds aren’t too many 
for a small family. A pound will plant 2 rows, 50 feet long. Cover 
beans about 2 inches. Space rows 20 to 30 inches apart in rich 
warm soil. Make first planting when severe frost danger is past. 
Make more plantings every two weeks. 
And remember to buy a few extra pounds of beans when 
you send your order. 
Beans are the WORLD’S CHAMPION

Because of our short seasons you should start the tomato seedlings in the house, in the hot 
x plants ready to start blooming 
when frost danger is over. Tomatoes like reasonably rich soil but don’t fertilize them too 
heavily. If your garden is exposed to hot southwest winds be sure to plant your tomatoes on 
the protected side. Plant them on the north or east side of corn, castor beans or buildings, 
One packet of seed is generally enough for plants for hundred feet of row. One ounce of seed 
should grow 2,000 plants if you have good luck with them. You will find complete culture
