ASHEVILLE SEED CO., ASHEVILLE, N. C. 
POLE OR CORNFIELD BEANS 
CULTURE—Pole Beans are more sensitive to 
cold than the bush kinds, and should not be plant¬ 
ed before the ground is warm—two or three weeks 
later than bush beans. Set poles 6 to 8 feet long, 
3 to 4 feet apart, in 4 foot rows and plant 5 or 6 
beans 2 inches deep around each pole. They 
may also be planted in the cornfield and allowed 
to run up the stalk. More troublesome to grow 
than bush beans, although they are of better 
quality and bear longer and more profusely. 
One lb. will plant 100 hills; 30 lbs. to the acre. 
Inoculate this seed with Stimugerm.
