SEEDS WHICH SUCCEED 



Trial Ground. — One hundred and sixty-five distinct tests. in Trial Ground of Pole or Running Beans, twenty-five 

 vines of each sort, all climbing up strong, tarred twine fastened to wires stretched between posts. The photograph 

 was taken in May when the vines had just started to climb up. Now, late in the season, these same vines form two 

 lines, 300 yards each, of almoist impenetrable hedges of foliage and covered with pods, showing relative merits in pro- 

 ductiveness, shape and quality.

Plant when the Apple is in bloom; set poles 4 by 4 feet; tie up the tendrils as often as necessary. To prevent Beau 

 Poles from blowing down unite thena by strong cords, or, better, dispense with poles and use wire netting. Pole Beans, as a 

 rule, require support to a height of six feet. No advantage going higher, as the pods cannot be reached.
