POLE 
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 80 days, depending on variety, and 
do best if the vines are given support, the most frequently used being rough poles, 7 ft. or more 
tall, sunk in the ground 1% to 2 ft. deep, and 3 to 4 ft. apart. Sow seed when the soil has become 
warm but not later than June 15. Place 5 to 8 beans around each pole, cover with 2 in. of soil, 
and firm to assist germination. When plants are well started, thin so that 3 or 4 of the strongest 
remain to a pole. A packet of seed is enough for 15 poles; 1 Ib. of seed for 100 poles. Pole Beans

may also be planted along a trellis or fence, sowing 300 ft. of row with 1 lb. of seed.

65 days. The most popular and dependable pole bean throughout the country. 
It is early, climbs well, and bears a heavy crop of large, green, curved pods, 7 to 
9 in. long, in clusters. The pods are thick and meaty, tender, brittle, and, when 
young, are free from string or fiber although small strings develop later. These 
strings do not impair the quality of the pods so that they can be eaten until late 
in the season. Though thick, the pods appear slender on account of their great 
length. The light brown seeds have a tasty flavor which makes them desirable for

Funk Delicious Soy Beans 
EDIBLE SOY BEANS 
Since the recent introduction of vegetable 
type soy beans into this country, the de- 
mand for seed has constantly increased. 
These beans are not only delicious when 
eaten green or dry, but they are also an ex- 
cellent source of Vitamins A, B, and G. 
Ask for cooking instructions when ordering 
seed. Soy beass rate higher than Navy 
Beans in proteins and they will greatly out- 
yield them in the same amount of space. 
35 Bansel— Earliest Soy Bean 
96 days. 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 support. 
They are literally loaded with pods. Seeds 
are bright green while young and yellow 
when mature. Pkt. 10¢; 14 Ib. 25¢; 
Ib. 45¢; 2 Ibs. 85¢; 5 Ibs. $2.00.

beans or dried. Pods contain two and some- 
times three beans, as large as baby limas 
in the green shell stage; pale green as they 
come from the pod and a beautiful bright 
green when cooked. Dry seed is large, 
round and yellow. Plants are extremely 
productive, vigorous and upright growing.

FAVA BEANS 
24 Long Pod — Shell Bean 
Mammoth Pods with 5 to 7 
Lima-like Beans 
85 days. Long Pod Fava Beans are much 
hardier than other beans and should be 
planted as early in the spring as the ground 
can be worked; they will not thrive in sum- 
mer heat. Plants are large and erect, true 
bush form, and heavy yielders. Pods are 
glossy green, 7 in. long, and quite broad; 
they contain 5 to 7 large, broad, flat, light 
green beans, which are valuable for use as 
green shell beans. The pods are not edible; 
the large beans somewhat resemble Lima 
Beans and should be used in the same way. 
Flavor is somewhat like that of the pea. 
Dry seed is large, circular, flat, reddish 
brown with black eye. Try a planting this 
year and remember you must plant early.
