RELIABLE SEEDS 
Pole Beans 
CULTURE—The pole bean climbs, sometimes 
needing a little training over any support given 
it. A good practice is to set firmly in the ground 
every three or four feet each way, poles that 
are, when set, about six feet high. Some time 
after bunch beans are planted, six or eight pole 
beans are planted one inch deep near the base 
of each stake and later thinned to three or four 
plants to the pole. One-half bushel of pole 
beans generously plants an acre and one pint 
plants one hundred hills. 
When too old for use as a green snap bean, 
use any bean shelled or still later, when it is 
hard and dry, it remains equally serviceable.
