DWARF OR BUSH BEANS 
One pound will plant a row 100 feet long; 
about 1% bushels to the acre 
HOW TO GROW DWARF OR BUSH BEANS. Make the rows 18 
inches or 2 feet apart, and drop the beans 4 inches apart in 
the row. If the soil is warm and loose, plant 2 inches deep; 
if rather cold and wet, plant only one inch deep. Beans, 
especially the yellow-podded varieties, will rot very easily if 
planted when the soil is wet and the atmosphere is cold. If 
you do not want to run the risk of replanting them, do not 
plant your beans until the soil is warm. Cultivate often but 
never when the plants are. wet, as this brings on rust. Pick 
the beans as fast as they become fit to use; this makes them 
bear longer. Special prices to market gardeners. Send your 
list to use for prices.

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 béans 
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 a large size; many gardeners consider it an advantage to set 
, the poles when planting, thus avoiding disturbing the small plant 
or its roots.
