Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans 
POLE SNAP BEANS 
Pole Beans produce the largest crop over the longest season. You obtain a greater 
supply of beans in a smaller space as compared with Bush Beans. They are even more 
tender than most bush varieties. 
CULTURE—Set 6- to 8-foot poles every 4 feet in 4-foot rows, and plant 6 to 8 beans, about 
2 inches deep, around each pole. When well started, thin to the four strongest A packet plants 
20 hills; 2 pounds to 150 hills; 30 pounds (% bushel) to an acre. May also be planted in rows 
and supported by a wire fence or trellis. For this method plant seed 2 feet apart, sowing 300 feet 
with a pound of seed. Top dress with good fertilizer or manure ; work it in as you cultivate.
