How to Grow Bush Snap Beans 
Plant seed when danger of frost is past and the soil is warm, in rows 18 to 30 in. 
apart for hand cultivation or 2% to 3 ft. apart for field cultivation. Make 
furrows about 2 in. deep and space the beans 2 to 3 in. apart in the row. Cover 
with fine soil and firm the soil over the seed with your foot or the back of a rake 
to insure good germination. When plants are 2 or 3in. high, thin to stand 4 to 6in. 
apart in the row. For a continuous supply of tender pods, make additional 
sowings when the preceding planting is up and growing; allow plenty of time for 
the last sowing to bear before frost. Plants grow 15 to 20 in. tall and will bear 
more pods if you pick them when young at which time they are truly delicious. 
A pkt. of seed will sow about 25 ft. of row; one Ib., 150¢ft.
