POLE 

 or RUNNING 

 BEANS 



CULTURE — In common with Pole 

 Limas (see culture directions on page 12), 

 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 or 4, individual pods averaging 7 or 

 8 inches long. They are deeply saddle 

 backed, very fleshy and develop a 

 slight string. Kentucky Wonder ma- 

 tures the bulk of its crop in from 80 to 

 100 days. Where poles are not avail- 

 able, wire or heavy, string supports 

 should be provided since the vines are 

 rank growers, bearing exceptionally 

 heavy crops. Pkt., 10 cts.; \ lb., 25 

 cts.; lb., 35 cts.; 2 lbs., 70 cts.; 5 lbs., 

 $1.65, prepaid.

 cellent for snap-shorts or shelled.
