1 1b. will plant 100 ft. of 
drill; 60 to 90 lbs. an acre. 
Beans succeed best in 
warm, light soil of at least 
average fertility. In this lat- 
itude it is not usually safe 
to plant much earlier than 
the middle of May. If plant- 
ing is made earlier and is 
followed by especially wet or 
cold weather, the planter 
should not blame the seeds- 
man if Beans fail to ger- 
minate. Plant the dwarf va- 
rieties in drills 2 to 3 feet 
apart, about 2 inches deep, 
and thin plants 4 to 6 inch- 
es apart. Give frequent shal- 
low cultivation until time 
of blossoming.
