 green or dry. The vines grow vigorously, setting the beans 

 early at the bottom of the pole, and continue in bearing

 of shelling, size, beauty and quality of the green beans 

 this variety is superior, and must come to be recognized as

HORTICULTURAL POLE BEANS. 



The pole varieties of Beans are of strong running growth, 

 and need stout poles or other support on which to climb. 

 Thej- require a longer season to mature pods than the bush va- 

 rieties, but by reason of their stronger growth are more pro- 

 ductive, and growing on poles are more easily gathered. The 

 varieties we offer are all of excellent quality, arehighly de- 

 sirable to plant to produce dry shell beans for Winter use. 

 When planted in the garden, poles should be set three to four 

 feet apart each way. A shovelful of rich compost or well- 

 rotted manure should be placed in the soil at the base of 

 the pole before planting the seed.
