Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hallawell's Annual Catalog, 1920: Seeds, Plants, Trees There are two distinct classes of beans which produce edible pods - the wax or yellow-podded varieties, called also Butter Beans, and the green-podded kinds. Both are used in the same way as f Snap Beans. The wax podded varieties look more attractive, but some of the green-podded kinds are of better quality and not subject to rust as much as the wax kinds. Another class is composed of beans used for shelling and cooking when green. Of this class Limas are by far the best quality. Still another class produces beans that are used when ripe and dry. These are called Field Beans, as they are usually grown only in large fields and not in gardens. Beans should not be sown until April 15th, or until all danger from frost is over. Sow the bush varieties in rows 2 feet apart and 3 inches apart in the row. Plant the pole beans 3 feet apart in hills and set a pole firmly in each hill. sow 5 or 6 beans in a hill. Cover the seeds from 1 to 2 inches deep. Plant in a rich, mellow soil and cultivate frequently. One pound of the bush varieties will plant 100 feet of row; 50 pounds will plant 1 acre, and will mature in 45 to 65 days; 1 pound of the pole varieties will plant 50 hills; 25 pounds will plant 1 acre, and will mature in about 65 to 75 days.
