Pole beans are more prolific and have a longer bearing season 

 than the bush class, they are also more tender and should be 

 planted about 2 weeks later. In place of planting in rows like 

 the bush kinds they should be planted in hills. About the end 

 of May set out stout poles 8 to 10 feet long in the hills, 3 feet 

 apart each way. Place 6 or 8 beans in the hills about 2 inches 

 deep and later thin out to 3 or 4 plants to a hill. Pick when 

 young, as they are then at their best.
