The should not be planted until danger of frost is past and the ground is well warmed. In this latitude (Biton Rouge) soil and weather conditions are generally favorable for early plsnt tugs aboatthe middle of'April; igow eveer, this season due. can probably plant much earlier as the weather is much warmer than usual. As tithe butter beans are warmth lovig plaits, later plantings may use made with auc cess, even in June And a abundance of pods be produce4 till frost ills the vines. The bittte beans "'are -s pecially adapted to back-yard gardns as they can be plapted along, the edges of the yard and allowed to climb on .the fences. They should also be con sidered when planting to sh$de gal leries, remembering that they are ready to serve a useful as well as 'or namental purpose. When plating stn der usual conditions (in ' the open garden) 4 to-S beats are usually drop ped to the hill and covered just deep enough to assue good germinatipn. One-half to one inch should suffice ordinarily if the soil is quite moist. When the plants are well established thin to -three or four to the hill On average soils the hills are spaced about three feet. apart on low ridges (beds) four ftet wide.. One pint of seed should plant about 100 hills.
