POLE OR RUNNING BEANS 
GREEN AND WAX PODDED 
These beans require a pole or trellis to climb on, if planted in the 
garden, although when raised as a seed crop in the open field they 
need no support whatever. Pole beans are usually very prolific, and 
bear longer pods and a great many more of them than the bush 
varieties. 
Burger's Pole. A new pole variety of great merit. Bears long, 
brittle, stringless pods of excellent flavor. It rivals all other 
pole beans and is destined to become the most popular of all.

staple article of food foT winter use, but in California these beans 
ripen only from San Luis Obispo County and south to Pasadena. 
The best territory for seed beans we believe to be Santa Barbara and 
San Buenaventura counties, where we grow our stock.
