(Green Bush Beans) 
CULTURE — For Spring planting, plant 
beans after Ist. of March or after all danger 
of frost is past. Plant in rows 2 to 3 feet apart 
covering seed about 1 to 1% inch deep. See 
that the soil is moist enough to sprout the 
seed and do not: water beans until they have 
broken through the surface or have sprouted, 
for beans watered right after they have been 
planted have a tendency to rot especially if 
the ground is too cold or too warm. Thin the 
plants to a stand of from 2 to 38 inches apart 
in the row. Shallow cultivation should be fre- 
quent until blooming, then stop to avoid in- 
jury to the root. Frequent picking of the crop 

Mary Washington 
insures prolonged bearing period. Never culti- 
vate or pick beans when the vines are wet. as 
it causes the pods to rust. % lb. plants 100 
foot row, 30 to 40 lbs to the acre. For a 
better yield inoculate beans with WNitragin.
