Burpee’s Pole Beans 
Small 
Seeded 
Pole Beans are extremely productive. They come into bearing 
later than the Bush varieties, but bear for a longer period, and ' Kentucky 
some produce bigger pods. They are less hardy than Bush Wonder 
Beans and are therefore planted a week later. They mature in 
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.
