Excerpt from 1926 Garden Guide: Seeds, Plants, Bulbs Although Beans will grow on almost any kind of soil, no crop will respond more readily to fertile soil and cultivation. Well rotted manure is best, as fresh manure will often make them run to vines, Plant in well fitted ground late enough in the season so that the ground is warm and not too wet. Plant two inches deep in drills thirty inches apart. Larger yields are being claimed, however, if six or seven Beans are planted in hills eight inches apart. Cultivate shallow and frequently up until time of blooming. Avoid working among the Beans when they are wet, as it tends to make them rust. Lima Beans should not be planted until the latter-part of April. Pole Beans are planted in hills three feet apart each way. A pound of Limas plants 100 hills; of the smaller sorts, 200 hills. A pound of Snap Beans Plants 150 feet of drill. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
