Kentuckj) Wonder 
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, however, 
so should be planted a week later. They mature in from 64 to 74 days. Sow seed when the 
weather has warmed up, about the second week of May in vicinity of Philadelphia, and not 
later than June 15. Set poles 4 ft. apart and place 5 to 8 beans around each pole; one packet 
of seed is enough for 20 poles; 1 lb. of seed for 100 poles. When plants are well established, 
thin to 3 or 4 plants to a pole; or the seed may be planted along a trellis, sowing 300 ft. of 
row with 1 lb. of seed. 
72 Kentucky Wonder or Old Homestead o 
65 days. We prefer this to most other green-podded Pole Beans. It is early, 
climbs well, and bears a heavy crop of large, green, curved pods, 7 to 9 in. 
long. They are thick and meaty, tender, brittle, and of good quality, show¬ 
ing slight strings as the pods reach full size. Though thick, they appear 
slender on account of their great length. Pods are borne in clusters and are 
produced over a long season if picked as they become ready for use.

Grown as dried Beans for winter use. The culture is similar to that recommended for Green-Pod Bush Beans, but 
shell Beans should be left on the vine until the pods are matured. The vines are then cut, allowed to dry, and the Beans 
threshed and stored. One pkt. will sow about 25 ft. of row; one lb. 100 ft. of row; 60 lbs. for one acre. Robust Pea 
Bean requires but one lb. for 200 ft. of row; 45 lbs. for one acre.

broad, and contain 4 to 6 large, broad, flat, light green 
beans, which are valuable for use as green shell beans. 
The pods are not edible; the large beans somewhat re¬ 
semble Lima Beans and should be used in the same way. 
Becoming very popular. The dry seed is quite large, 
circular, flat, reddish brown with black eye. Make one 
planting as early as possible; they will not thrive in sum¬ 
mer heat. One pkt. will plant 15 ft. of row; 1 lb. 75 ft.;
