POLE BEANS. 
Less hardy than the Bush Beans, and should be planted several weeks later, when the ground is 
warmer. Plant the seeds in slightly raised hills 3 or 4 feet apart, 4 or 5 seeds to the hill. The Limas 
are especially tender, and the rule for late outside planting with them is rigid. Painstaking cultivators, 
who are usually the most successful, plant them eye downward, after setting stout poles for every hill. 
All sorts of late-ripening Pole Beans are benefitted by pinching the tips of the vines back when they are 
about 5 feet high. A pound will plant about 100 hills.

The Sweet or Sugar varieties being liable to rot in the cold or wet ground, should not be planted 
before May, or until the ground has become warm, and for a succession continue planting every two 
weeks, until the middle of July, in rich, well-manured ground in hills three feet apart each way, covering 
about half an inch and then thin out three plants to a hill, or plant in rows four feet apart and to 
stand eight inches apart in the rows. One-quarter pound to 100 feet; 1 gallon to the acre.

PEAS. 
Postage to be Paid by Purchaser. See Parcel Post Rates on Front Page. 
Peas succeed in light, dry, loamy soil. Early and dwarf sorts require richer soil than the late varieties. 
If manure is used let it be old and well rotted, or there will be a rank growth of vines with few pods. 
Sow the early, smooth, round sorts as early in spring as the ground can be worked. Seeds of wrinkled 
varieties are more liable to rot if. the ground is cold and must be planted later. Sow all the varieties 
quite early and depend for succession upon the different times of ripening of the various sorts, or from 
the first sowing sow every two weeks until June for a succession. One-half pound to 100 feet; 2 bushels 
to the acre.
