POLE BEANS GREEN-PODDED KINDS 



AS AMONG the bush beans, the pole beans supply us 

 with both green and yellow or wax-podded kinds, 

 to please our fancies. Most pole beans produce pods 

 much longer in size than bush beans. This is particularly 

 true among the green-podded kinds. 



Old Homestead or Kentucky Wonder is the most popular 

 and, perhaps, most prolific, considering size of pods and 

 number of pods per plant. 



Powell's Prolific bears shorter pods, but is earlier and 

 produces more of them. 



McCaslan, as illustrated herewith, is an extra early 

 kind of exceptional size and stringless until it becomes six 

 inches or more in length. Within sixty days from date of 

 planting in warm rich soil it will bear two quarts of beans 

 per plant. 



Lazy Wife is another prolific sort bearing great clusters 

 of medium-sized pods that are perfectly stringless while 

 young.
