POLE BEANS 
Pole Beans are extremely productive. They come into bearing later than the Bush varieties, 
but bear for a longer period, and some produce bigger pods. They are less hardy than 
Bush 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.
