: BEANS 
(Green Bush Beans) 
CULTURE — For Spring planting, plant 
beans after Ist. of March or after all danger 
of frost is past. Plant in rows 2 to 3 feet apart 
covering seed about 1 to 11% inch deep. See 
that the soil is moist enough to sprout the 
seed and do not water beans until they have 
broken through the surface or have sprouted, 
for beans watered right after they have been 
planted have a tendency to rot especially if 
the ground is too cold or too warm. Thin the 
plants to a stand of from 2 to 3 inches apart 
in the row. Shallow cultivation should be fre- 
quent until blooming, then stop to avoid in- 
“jury to the root. Frequent picking of the crop 
insures prolonged bearing period. Never culti- 
vate or pick beans when the vines are wet. %4 
lb. plants 100 foot row, 30 to 40 lbs to the 
acre. For a better’ yield inoculate beans with 
Nitragin. See page 25.
