HOW TO GROW THEM.—About the first to the middle of May, plant four to six Beans 
around poles 8 to 10 feet high, setting the poles 4 feet apart each way. Thin to three plants, 
if soil is rich. They may also be grown on trellis or poultry wire; for this method plant in regular 
rows, two or three Beans every 15 inches. Poles may readily be obtained at any lumber-yard. 
Cultivate often (not when plants are wet). 
Schell’* Wnndpr Pnlp IAmn Wonderfully prolific. The big, broad, thick,

HOWTO 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; 
jlant the seed two feet apart for this method. Top- 
dress with good fertilizer or manure, working it in as 
you cultivate. Wizard Brand Pulverized Sheep Manure 
makes all plants hustle. We have it.
