How to Grow Bush Snap Beans 
Plant seed whén danger of frost is past and the soil is warm, in 
rows 18 to 30 in. apart for hand cultivation or 2}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 germina-— 
tion. When plants are 2 or din. 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 tas 
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 lb., 150 ft. bs SSS
