BUSH 

G R E E N - PO D HOW TO GROW BUSH BEANS. Make the rows 18 inches to 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 1 inch 
deep. Beans, especially yellow-podded, rot very easily if planted when 
the soil is wet and the atmosphere is cold. If you do not want to run the risk of replanting them, do not plant your Beans until the 
soilis warm. Cultivate often but never when the plants are wet as this brings on rust. Pick the Beans as fast as they become fit 
for use; this makes them bear longer. One pound will plant a row 100 feet long; about 114 bus. to the acre. Work plenty of fer- 
tilizer into the soil before planting. Other Beans on pages 8, 9, 10, 11.
