Pole Varieties 
Two pounds will plant 100 hills; 25 to 30 pounds, an acre 
Plant when all danger of frost or cold nights is over, with the eye of the Bean down. Put a 
Itberal number im a hill, as this ts cheaper than replanting. When up and established, thin out 
to 3 or 4 plants in a hill. The poles should be set as soon as the garden is made, in rows about 
3 feet apart with the poles about 3 feet apart in the row. It Is a good plan to put a small 
shovelful of well-rotted cow-manure in each hill when the poles are set, so the Beans, when 
started, will make rapid growth and mature early.
