Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean 
POLE BEANS 
Pole Beans are extremely productive. They come into bearing later than the bush varie¬ 
ties, 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 80 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. 
W hen 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, showing slight strings as the pods reach full size. Though thick, 
they appear slender on account of their great length.

35 Bansei 
96 days. Since the recent introduction of 
vegetable type soy beans into this country, 
the demand for seed has constantly in¬ 
creased. These beans are not only delicious 
when eaten green or dry, but they are also 
an excellent source of Vitamins A, B, and 
G. The food value is very high because of 
the fat and protein content. The Bansei 
variety is one of the earliest and most pro¬ 
ductive of all and very adaptable in its 
growing requirements; it will produce crops 
in nearly any section of the country. Plants 
grow 24 in. high and do not require sup¬ 
port. Seeds are bright green while young 
and yellow when mature. Ask for cooking 
instructions when ordering seed.
