POLE BEANS 
CULTURE. Beans being 
very tender and delicate 
when coming out of the 
ground and also very quick 
in making their appear¬ 
ance after being planted, 
care should be taken not 
to plant while there is still 
danger of frost, May 10th 
to 25th is, as a rule, the 
best time for bean plant¬ 
ing.
