DWARF OR BUSH BEANS 
HOW TO GROW DWARF OR BUSH 
BEANS. One pound will plant a row 
100 feet long; about 1144 bushels to 
the acre. Make the rows 18 inches or 
2 feet apart, and drop the beans 4 
inches apart in the row. If the soil is 
warm and loose, plant 2 inches deep; 
if rather cold and wet, plant only one 
inch deep. Beans, especially the yel- 
low-podded varieties, will rot very 
easily if planted when the soil is wet 
and the atmosphere is cold. Cultivate 
often but never when the plants are 
wet, as this brings on rust. Special
