GREEN BEANS—Dwarf or Bush 
One Pound of Beans will plant a row 100 feet long; 60 to 75 Pounds will plant an acre. 
Culture: Beans will grow in any good, well drained soil, but do best in rich, sandy loam. Plant from April to August in rows 2 to 
3 feet apart, 
1/2 inches deep, leaving 3 or 5 inches between the Beans. 
Frequent shallow cultivation, drawing the earth to the

off. Bush Beans usually grow from 15 to 20 inches in height.
