BE ANS—POLE or RUNNING 
Although pole beans require considerable care and labor, they are when properly grown usually of longer bearing period 
than the dwarf sorts and are generally more productive. 
Pole beans are even more sensitive to cold and wet, as well as to drought and hot winds, than the dwarf varieties, but are of 
superior quality and productiveness. After settled warm weather, set poles four to eight feet long in rows four feet apart and 
extending north and south, the poles being three feet apart inthe row. Let the poles slant slightly toward the north. Set in 
this way the vines climb better, and the pods are straighter and more easily seen. Around each stake plant five to eight beans 
one and one-half to two inches deep. When well started thin to four plants, and see that they all climb around the pole in the 
same way, for they will not grow if tied up in the opposite direction. 
Another plan is to plant in rows thickly enough so that there will be one plant to eight or teninches. Set posts five feet 
high firmly at each end of the rows and drive stakes made of two by two lumber at intervals of about sixteen feet along the 
rows. Stretch a wire, size number 10 or 12, between the posts along each row, and fasten it to the tops of the stakes with wire 
staples. Run a lighter wire or twine along the bottom about six inches from the ground and fasten to the posts and stakes 
with wire staples. Between these two stretch a wire or twine wherever there is a plant. The vines will run up these until they 
reach the top wire, when they willcareforthemselves. Another way is toomit the bottom wire and stick small stakes two to 
six inches in the soil and fasten to top wire. 
° This green podded, white seeded 
White Creaseback creaseback variety is valuable for its 
extreme earliness and its habit of perfecting all of its pods within 
a short time. The vines are medium sized, vigorous and in good 
soil wonderfully productive, bearing round, fleshy pods in clusters 
of from four to twelve. The pods are of medium length, usually 
about five inches, comparatively straight and of attractive light 
green color. They are of the best quality as snaps for home use 
and stand shipping better than most sorts. Seed small, oval, white. 
The beans are too small to be of much value when shelled green, 
but are considered by many to be of very superior quality for 
baking. Pkt. 10c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c postpaid; 100 Lbs. $24.00 
k WwW d Also known as Old Homestead. We 
Kentuc y ONGEF believe this variety is the most practi- 
cally useful of the green podded pole beans suitable for use as 
snaps. It is an early, very prolific sort, with showy pods which 
are of most excellent quality. The vines are vigorous, climbing 
well and very productive, bearing pods in large clusters. The pods 
are medium light green, very long, often reaching nine or ten 
inches, curved and twisted, nearly round and very crisp when
