POLE BEANS. 
CULTURE. Pole Beans require warm and very rich, loamy 
soil. Plant when the soil has become well warmed through in 
spring. If planted in cold or soggy soil, the seed willrot. Use 
poles 5 to 8 feet long set in rows 4 feet apart each way, or in 
drills, if wire trellis is used. Plant 4 to 6 Beans around each 
pole, and thin out to 3 plants to a pole, or 2 to 3 Beans may be 
planted in hills a foot apart under a wire trellis. Cultivate 
freely, and if possible top dress around each hill with small 
quantity of poultry manure, compost or some good fertilizer. 
When hoeing, work this dressing well into the soil. One quart 
will plant 150 to 200 hills. Material for inoculating 
Pole Beans will be found offered on page 50.
