Ferry-Morse 1427 Bean Seeds, Contender (28 Gram Packet)
An excellent, early-maturing variety. Produces abundantly. Pods are round and string-less, and are at their best when about 5 1/2 - 6 inches long. Disease resistant. High in vitamins A, B, and C. This packet will plant approximately a 10 foot row. Avoid working around beans when wet; this may spread diseases. When weeding, hoe gently because beans are shallow-rooted. Mulch plants only after thinning. Sow seed when soil is warm and all danger of frost is past. Plant 2 seeds every 4 inches. Soaking seeds overnight before planting will speed germination. Thin to 1 plant every 4 inches when plants have 4 leaves. Pick early and often to encourage production. Sow every 2 weeks until 8 weeks before last frost.
