meaty Beans. It is an enormous yielder, bearing in close clusters as 
many as eleven pods, containing three, four and five beans. The Beans 
are much larger and nearly twice as thick as the old Burpee’s Bush, 
and mature a week earlier.

Pole or Corn Beans 
One pound will plant 100 hills; 20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
Plant after danger of frost, in a warm, fertile and well drained, mellow 
soil. Drop 3 to.5 seeds, 1% inches deep per hill, 2 to 3 feet apart in the 
row and 3 to 4 feet between rows. Use 8- to 9-foot poles set 2 to 3 feet 
in the ground. Where seed is dropped 4 inches apart in 4- to 5-foot rows, 
trellis may be built with well braced end poles, Shallow planting in a 
well drained soil to overcome soil-borne organisms, which are frequently 
responsible for a poor stand. Pole Beans may be planted with corn. 
Logan Giant. (55 days.) There is no bean of its class that we have 
grown that is as tender and as fine quality. Many of our customers 
consider it the best pole bean that they have ever grown. The pods,

long, broad, round and slightly curved. From ten days to two weeks 
earlier than Kentucky Wonder.

Pole Lima Beans 
Holmes’ Green Prolific Lima. (85 days.) Introduced by H. L.

them easy to gather, each having 5 to 6 beans in a pod.
