CULTURE. One pound will plant 50 hills, 30 pounds per acre. 
The soil should be mellow, rich and warm. Lay the ground out 
in hills 4 feet apart each way, and set poles 8 to 10 feet long 
firmly in the hills before planting the seed. Plant 5 or 6 beans 
in a hill and cover about 2 inches deep; leave three plants at 
each pole, and when a few inches high draw a little earth around 
them as support. Set the poles before the plants have. grown 
to large size; many gardeners consider it an advantage to set 
the poles when planting, thus avoiding disturbing the small plant 
or its roots.

CULTURE. Well enriched, light soil is best adapted for the 
culture of beets. Sow in drills 1 foot apart and cover half inch. 
It is important that the earth be pressed firmly about the seed.

thinnings for greens if desired. For early crop, sow as soon as 
the ground can be worked, and continue for succession until 
the first of July. Liberal manuring should be done for Mangels

the rows.
