One Pound to 150 hills 
These are more tender and require rather more care 
in culture than the Bush Beans, and should be sown 
two weeks later. They succeed best in sand loam, 
which should be liberally enriched with short manure 
in the hills, which are formed, according to the vari¬ 
ety, from three to four feet apart. From five to six 
seeds are planted in each hill, about two inches deep. 
Rough cedar or similar poles about seven or eight 
feet long should be used for these to climb on. The 
poles should be set in the ground at least eighteen 
inches, so as to prevent being blown over. 
Add .08 per Lb.; each additional pound add .01 if 
to be sent by mail.

use. Seed white. Pound, .30; Two Pounds, .50
