VEGETABLE SEEDS 

POLE OR RUNNING VARIETIES 
Prices, Pkt. 10c; Y2 Ib. 15c; Ib. 25c, 
unless otherwise noted. 
CULTURE. One pound will plant 50 hills, 30 pounds per acre. 
The soil should be mellow, rich and warm. Lay the ground out 
in hills 4 feet apart each way, and set poles 8 to 10 feet long 
firmly in the hills before planting the seed. Plant 5 or 6 beans 
in a hill and cover about 2 inches deep; leave three plants at 
each hole, and when a few inches high draw a little earth around 
them as support. Set the poles before the plants have grown 
to large size; many gardeners consider it an advantage to set 
the poles when planting, thus avoiding disturbing the small 
plant at its roots.
