CULTURE: Sow the bush varieties as soon 
as the ground is warm and the season favorable 
and every two weeks for succession. Plant in 
rows two feet apart, the beans two inches apart

use poles 8 to 10 feet long and set them about 
4 feet apart. Plant 4 to 6 beans about one inch 
deep around each pole and later thin to three 
plants to a pole. One pound will plant 100 to 
150 feet of drill, 65 pounds one acre. Packet

when the plants are wet as this will cause rust.
