CULTURE-—In common with Pole 
Limas (see culture directions on page 14), 
these are rank growers and consequently 
rank feeders. Do not attempt to grow 
Pole Beans on poor, thin soil, but enrich 
the hills well with liberal quantities of well- 
rotted manure or humus. One pound 
will plant 100 hills. 
Green Pod Varieties 
128 Kentucky Wonder or Old 
Homestead. Combines size and 
quality in an extraordinary degree. 
Pods are generally borne in clusters of 
2 oc 4, individual pods averaging 7 or 
8 inches long. They are deeply saddle 
backed, very fleshy and_ perfectly 
stringless at all stages of development. 
Kentucky Wonder matures the bulk of 
its crop in from 80 to 100 days. 
Where poles are not available, string 
supports should be provided since the 
vines are exceedingly rank growers, 
bearing exceptionally heavy crops.

2 Ibs., 75 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.75, prepaid.
