Planting Fun for Children 
Bean Power 
If your children have never seen 
Bean Wigwam 
Your little Indians will love to 
growth begin from a seed, this 
demonstration will delight and 
fascinate them. Fill a wide- 
mouthed jar with cotton, wool or 
paper tissues, and place lima 
beans around the sides. (Limas 
are easier to see because they’re 
large) Be sure to keep the 
“ground” moist and place the jar 
in a warm place. Within a few 
days, you'll see the seed coat 
swell, and later split as the root 
system emerges. Roots will fill 
the jar and leaves will start to 
appear. Besides being educa- 
tional, this is bound to make your 
grow and care for pole beans 
when you show them this novel 
way of growing those popular 
green vegetables. Position five or 
six stout poles to form acircle and 
bind them together at the top. Tie 
or tack string or wire around the 
frame to create a mesh all the way 
to the top. Plant Kentucky Wonder 
or Romano pole beans around the 
outside. It doesn’t take long for 
the vines to cover the form. 
Children will enjoy playing in it, 
picking the beans, and the eating 
them.

Pumpkin 
Hideaway 
An unusual and fun fort can 
easily be built with four sturdy 
posts and chicken wire covering 
three sides. Pumpkin, gourd or 
melon seeds are then planted 
along the sides, and in a short 
time vines grow up and over the 
fort to completely cover the three- 
sided structure. The result is a 
hideout that children will love to 
play in. They’ll also enjoy watch- 
ing the vines flower and grow 
fruit. If gourds are grown, they 
can be used for decoration, too. 
(see item on gourds on this page) 
Gourds 
Growing gourds is great fun 
because no two are alike. The 
colorful Small Fancy Gourds are 
shaped like eggs, pears, oranges 
and even small bottles. Once dry, 
they can be varnished and used 
for indoor decoration. Others are 
suitable for bird houses and even 
table lamp bases. With a little 
imagination, many more useful 
and decorative items can be 
made.
