SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS
Burpee's Stringless Green Pod
BUSH BEANS
1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to IV^ bushels per acre.
Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil is well warmed.
Sowing too early will often result in a poor stand and uneven ripening. Sow the
seed 1% to 2 inches deep in rows not less than 18 inches apart and firm the soil
to assist germination. Allow the plants to stand 4 to 10 inches apart in the row
according to variety.
Shallow cultivating and hoeing should be done frequently until the vines
are in blossom. To prevent blight do not cultivate deeply and avoid workino'
them while the vines are wet. Beans grow best in a warm, well-drained, sand^
loam. For succession plant every two weeks until about August 15th.
