REASONABLE PRICES

BUSH BEANS 
CULTURE — Plant about May 1st for early beans, or as soon as the ground becomes warm, in rows 
2% to 3 feet apart except pole beans, 3% to 4 feet. Cover from 1% to 3 inches deep according to 
weather conditions. Large seeded beans require warmer weather to germinate than small beans. Never 
cultivate or hoe beans when the foliage is wet from dew or rains, as it will cause rust. Where beans 
have not previously been grown on the land it is valuable to use NITRAGIN. Our radio talk on 
beans sent free upon request, All white seeded beans need careful planting for early crops as they 
do not stand cold ground like colored beans. Early bush beans can be planted up to August 1st in 
the western parts of Pacific Coast states.
