' How to Grow Bush Snap Beans 
Plant seed when danger of frost is past and the soil is warm, in rows 18 to 30 in. 
apart for hand cultivation or 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 germination. When plants-are 2 or 3 in. high, thin to stand 4 to 6 in. 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 to 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.
