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 (Y z 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. Plant in 
corn when corn is about 1 foot high.

BUCHANAN’S POLE SNAP BEANS 
Pole Snap Beans are naturally at home in the South. They are heavier 
bearers than any other kind of garden beans and in fact produce more 
food than perhaps any other vegetable. All Southern gardens should have 
fences or poles covered with McCaslan and Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans 
and corn should be planted in the Cornfield Beans. When pods are kept 
picked, the vines continue bearing until frost and many a meal will be 
supplied with snap beans all season long. Any surplus may be saved as 
dry shelled beans or canning for winter use.
