SPRINGFIELD SEED COMPANY, SPRINGFIELD, MO. 
«BEANS*« 
CULTURE—Beans are sensitive to both 
cold and wet, so do not plant till the 
ground is warm. To have a continuous 
supply plant every two weeks from the 
time the ground gets warm till the middle 
of August; farther south they may be 
planted even later. Make the rows 2 and 
3 feet apart, drop the beans 3 inches 
apart and cover 1!4 to 2 inches deep. 
Give frequent but shallow cultivation up 
to blooming time, not afterward, and 
never when the plants are wet. Plant in 
a light loamy soil that warms up quickly. 
One pound plants 60 feet; 100 pounds will
