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