Culture—Seed for 50 feet, Y2 lb. Per acre bush 
beans, 40 lbs.; pole beans 30 lbs. For home 
garden plant 4 inches apart in rows 20 
inches apart. When well up thin to 1 foot. For 
field culture rows 24 to 36 inches apart and 6 
inches apart for bush and 12 inches for pole 
varieties in the row. To insure good germina-
