Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans

over, plant in hills 4 feet apart each way, 
about 4 or 5 Beans to the hill, eyes down¬ 
ward and when up and established, thin out 
to 3 plants in a hill. 
Pole Beans are not given the same atten¬ 
tion in the North they deserve and receive in 
the southern part of the United States, 
where they are found in practically every 
garden. 
They are frequently more tender, and 
yield larger crops than dwarf sorts. One 
planting usually lasts for the season.

planting with LEGUME-AID. Whenordering, be sure to specify if wanted for garden 
Beans, as each leguminous crop requires a separate culture. See page 73.

Pole Varieties 
Two pounds will plant 100 hills; 25 to 30 pounds, an acre 
Plant when all danger of frost or cold nights is over, with the eye of the Bean down. Put a liberal number in a hill, as this is cheaper than 
replanting. When up and established, thin out to 3 or 4 plants in a hill. The poles should be set as soon as the garden is made, in rows 
about 3 feet apart, with the poles about 3 feet apart in the row. It is a good plan to put a small shovelful of well-rotted cow-manure in each 
hill when the poles are set, so the Beans, when started, will make rapid growth and mature early.

color in all stages of growth, even after
