IiAZT WIFE'S POLE 

 BEAN. The best variety for 

 late green-podded beans. The 



Sods are broad, thick, very 

 eshv, and entirely stringless, 

 of a rich buttery flavor when 

 cooked, and grow from 4 to 6 

 inches in length. As a snap- 

 short it cannot be excelled. 

 For a shell bean it is unsur- 

 passed for winter use, the 

 beans being white and of ex- 

 cellent flavor. They are a 

 most valuable variety to plant 

 among corn. We particularly 

 recommend it as it is one of 

 the best Pole Beans in use.

 fit to work, "in drills about 1 foot apart and 2 inches deep.

 in July. These dates apply f ir the "latitude of Philadelphia ; 

 for the South sow earlier, .North later.

 weeds. The roots may be taken up in October and stored in 

 the cellar or in pits outside, like potatoes.
