Beans WAX-POD BUSH 
Soil Preparation page 3 











Planting should be delayed until all danger of frost is over. Dwarfs are earliest 
and most hardy. In garden culture, beans are usually planted about 2 inches deep, 
in rows 20 inches apart, and 3 inches apart in the row; in field culture, in drills 
2 to 3 feet apart so as to cultivate with tractor. Until blossoming season, frequent 
but shallow cultivation should be given. Deep cultivation after the plants show 
bloom is very apt to ruin the crop. Do not disturb plants when covered with dew. 
Two pounds will plant 100 feet of drill, and sixty pounds is sufficient for an acre 
of dwarf bush types. 
To afford a regular succession of crops throughout the season, plant every two | 
weeks after the first planting until midsummer.
