ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPE SEED 

Beans 
Beans will produce well on most soils if planted after the soil is reasonably warm and dry. The 
bean rows should be spaced 18 inches apart and the seed about three inches apart in the row and 
about two inches deep. A pound of seed will plant about 100 feet of row. Plants should not be 
thinned but should have frequent shallow cultivations. For a continuous supply of beans, seed may 
be planted every two weeks until midsummer.

This is a comparatively new bean that has proven valuable in the Great Plains area because of its 
vigor and hardiness. The Hopi bean is medium early, maturing in 75 days, producing a bean that 
is midway in size between the bush lima and the older pole beans: For those who like beans in the 
green stage for cooking, there is none better than the Hopi. This bean should be planted about one- 
third as thickly as the regular lima beans, yet it will produce as heavy a crop of beans.
