GARDEN 
FOR 
VICTORY 
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. Do not work when the plants are 
wet as this will cause rust and injury to the crop. 
Plant every two weeks for succession,
