SA CULTURE—Beans should be sown after May I5th, when the ground is 
thoroughly warm. Make successive sowings, 2 weeks apart, for a supply of 
beans all summer. Sow in drills 15 to 30 inches apart, 2 inches deep, 
dropping the beans 3 inches apart in the row. Cultivate often, but shallow. 
NOTE—Do not walk through, or pick beans when they are wet with dew or 
rain as touching the wet plants spreads the spores of anthracnose or bean 
canker from one plant to another.
