BURPEE’S POLE BEANS 
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 not be planted until all danger of frost is past and the soil is warm and moderately dry. 
They mature in from 64 to 80 days, depending on variety, and do best if the vines are given sup- 
port, the most frequently used being rough poles, 7 ft. or more tall, sunk in the ground 1% to 2 ft. 
deep, and 3 to 4ft. apart. 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 
toa pole. A packet of seed is enough for 15 poles; 1 lb. of seed for 100 poles. Pole Beans may 
also be planted along a trellis or fence, sowing 300 ft. of row with 1 Ib. 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 havea tasty flavor which makes them desirable for 
use as shell beans. Pkt. 10¢; 14 lb. 25¢; Ib. 45¢; 2 Ibs. 85¢; 5 Ibs. $2.00.
