1 1b. will plant 100 ft. of drill; 60 to 90 Ibs. will plant an acre. 
Beans succeed best in warm, light soil of at least 
average fertility. In this latitude it is not usually safe 
to plant much earlier than the middle of May. If 
planting is made earlier and is followed by especially 
wet or cold weather, the planter should not blame the 
seedsman if beans fail to germinate. Plant the dwarf 
varieties in drills 2 to 3 feet apart, about 2 inches deep, 
and thin plants 4 to 6 inches apart. Give frequent, 
shallow cultivation until time of blossoming.
