 inch wide and nearly half an 

 inch thick. The pods are of 

 excellent quality, tender, brit- 

 tle, fleshy and absolutely 

 stringless in all stages. They are most attractive. I want ev^ery 

 one of my customers to try this Bean, which is one of the most 

 prolific I have ever seen. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 3S cts., postpaid; by

POLE or RUN- 

 NING BEANS 



Culture. Plant after the soil 

 has become well warmed using 

 poles 6 to 8 feet long in rows 4 

 feet apart each way. Put five or 

 six beans around each pole, and 

 thin to three plants to a pole, or, 

 if preferred, plant in hills a foot 

 apart along a trellis of poultry 

 netting. Hoe frequently. Pole 

 Beans do best in very rich soil; 

 they do not mature so rapidly 

 as the Bush Beans, but are more 

 productive because of their 

 strong growth, and are gathered 

 more easily. 



One quart will plant 100 to 150
