GROW PLENTY OF BEANS 
Beans like a dry and rather light soil, though they will do well 
in any garden soil if not planted too early in spring. Planting 
should be delayed until all danger of frost is over. Dwarfs are 
earliest and most hardy as a general rule. In garden culture, 
beans are usually planted about 2 inches deep, in rows 18 inches 
apart, and 3 inches apart in the row; in field culture, in drills 2 to 
3 feet apart so as to cultivate with horse or tractor. Until blos- 
soming season, frequent but shallow cultivation should be given. 
Deep cultivation after the plants show bloom is very apt to ruin 
the crop. Two pounds will plant 100 feet of drill, and sixty pounds 
is sufficient for an acre. 
Running beans, especially the Limas, are more tender than the 
Dwarfs; therefore, planting muSt be delayed still later, or until 
liability to rot in consequence of cold, damp weather has passed. 
Plant five or six beans in each hill, about 2 inches deep, hills 3 
feet apart each way. Two pounds of seed will be sufficient for 100 
hills of Limas, or 30 to 50 pounds of Limas per acre when drilled. 
To afford a regular succession of crops throughout the season, 
plant every two weeks after the first planting until midsummer. 
See Page 3 for Preparation of the Soil. 

D. D. T. Caution Do not dust or spray using D. D. I. 
on beans, cucumbers, cantaloupes, or 
watermelons. We have been advised it will stunt growth of the 
plants.
