WALTER S. SCHELLS QUALITY SEEDS FOR MARKET-GARDENERS 
POLE or CORIN BEAMS 
(©tangenbo^inen) 
HOW TO GROW THEM.— One quart will plant 150 hills; about 12 quarts to the acre. 
Do not think of hurrying your crop by too early planting or you may have a failure — the 
seed will rot readily if the soil is cold and wet. Wait until the soil is thoroughly warmed. 
Use 8-foot poles, placing them 4 feet apart in the rows each way. Plant five or six beans 
around each pole; let three of the best plants stand. They may also be grown in rows and 
supported by wire or along a wire fence; plant the seed two feet apart for this method. Top 
dress with good fertilizer or manure, working it in as you cultivate. Wizard Brand Pulvetized 
Sheep Manure makes all plants hustle. We have it.
