GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEANS 

How to Grow_ Beans. Plantings 
commence in the Lower South during 
January; in our latitude, February 
and March. Sow 1% to 2 inches 
deep, 3 to 4 inches apart, in rows 
2% to 3% feet apart. ‘Cultivate 
often until plants blossom. Deep cul-

cause rust and spread anthracnose if 
it is present, Frequent picking insures 
a prolonged bearing season. Twa 
pounds will sow 100 feet of row; 60 
pounds (bushel), an acre,
