BEANS—(Continued) 
Pole or Running Varieties 
Prices postpaid, pkt. 10c; V 2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c, unless otherwise noted. 
COTiTTTKE —One pound will plant 50 hills, 30 pounds per acre. The soil 
should be mellow, rich and warm. Lay the ground out in hills 4 feet apart each 
way, and set poles 8 to 10 feet long firmly in the hills before planting the seed. 
Plant 5 or 6 beans in a hill and cover about 2 inches deep; leave three plants 
at each pole, and when a few inches high draw a little earth around them as 
support. Set the poles before the plants have grown to large size; many 
gardeners consider it an advantage to set the poles when planting, thus avoiding 
disturbing the small plant or its roots.
