Kentucky oritler Pole Beans 
How. to Grow Pole Beans 
Pole Beans are extremely productive. They come into bearing later than the 
bush varieties, 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 do best if the vines are given 
support, the most frequently used being rough poles. 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 to a pole. A packet 
of seed is enough for 15 poles; 1 Ib. 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.
