HOMESTEAD 
BEANS 
POLE OR RUNNING 
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 vari- 
eties. For home garden use set the poles well in first, scrape the soil 
away to a depth of two inches and irrigate well. Then plant five to 
nine beans on each hill, covering to a depth of one inch. Save only 
the best three or four plants. Pole beans will continue bearing long 
after the earlier bush varieties have ceased. Hills should be three to 
four feet apart each way. 
BURGER'S GREEN FOE STRINGLESS POLE. A new pole

Kentucky Wonder. Pkt. 10c; lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.50.

localities. Most remarkable results have been obtained

good crops in the hot San Joaquin and Sacramento val- 
leys. Recommended for places where, ordinarily, beans 
will not grow. Tepary beans give a profitable new crop 
to thousands of acres. Quality excellent. Beans are
