Pole Beans are extremely productive. They come into bearing later than the Bush 
varieties, but bear for a longer period, and some produce bigger pods. They are less 
hardy than Bush Beans and are therefore planted a week later. They mature m from 
65 to 75 days. Sow the seed when the weather has warmed up, about the second 
week of May and not later than June 15. Set poles 4 ft. apart and place 8 to 10 beans 
around each; 1 pound of seed for 125 poles. When plants are well established, 
thin to 2 or 3 plants to a pole; or the seed may be planted along a trellis, sowing 
300 ft. of row with 1 lb. of seed. Pick the beans before they have reached full size. 
72 Kentucky Wondei* © or Old Homestead 
We prefer this to most other green-podded Pole Beans. It is early, 
climbs well, and bears a fine crop of large green pods, 7 to 9 in. 
long. Pods are thick and meaty, tender, brittle, and of good quality, 
showing slight strings as the pods reach full size. They are excellent 
for table if used before they reach their full size. Though thick they 
appear slender on account of their great length. The pods are dis¬ 
tinctly curved. Seeds are brownish drab. Pkt. lOjzf; V2 lb. 25 jz 5 ; lb. 35 ^ ;
