Plant Pole Beans — They are More Productive Than Bush Varieties 
Pole or Running Beans 
ALL VARIETIES: PKT., 15c. 
Plant two weeks later than dwarf varieties. Limas are 
more tender and will do better if not planted until the 
first of June. Set poles 6 to 8 feet long in rows 4 feet 
each way. Sow 6 to 8 seeds around each pole, cover 
about 1 inch, except Limas, which should be stuck 
eyes down and covered only one-fourth inch. Manure 
liberally and leave hill raised, to prevent water from 
rotting the seed. 
Two pounds will plant about 100 hills.
