Bush Varieties 
Plant seed when all danger of frost is past and the soil is quite warm, in rows 
18 to 30 inches apart for hand cultivation, or 24% to 3 feet apart for field culture. 
Space the seed 2 to 3 inches apart in the row and cover with 1 to 2 inches of soil. 
Give frequent and shallow cultivation until blossoms appear. A packet will pant 
about 25 feet of row; 1 lb., 100 feet; 60 lbs. to an acre. You can make your Bean 
crop most effective if you plant seed at intervals of two weeks until about 10 
weeks before the first frost. In that way you can have plants in full production 
constantly, providing a steady supply for both table and canning purposes. Re- 
member, Beans have the best flavor when served or canned soon after picking.
