Keniucliy 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. 
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.

65 days. We prefer this to all 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.

SHELL 
BEANS 
(may be used either green or dried) 
Grown mostly 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.
