POLE BEANS GIVE HIGH RETURNS IN SMALL SPACES 

Pole or Running Beans 
Pole Beans are not so hardy as the Bush sorts, 
and should be planted several weeks later, when 
danger from frost is over. Plant the seeds in 
slightly raised hills, 3 to 4 feet apart, four or five 
seeds to the hill. The Limas are especially 
tender, and the rule for late outside planting 
with them is rigid. Painstaking cultivators, 
usually the most successful, plant them eye 
downward, setting stout poles for every hill. 
One pound of seed will sow 100 hills; 
30 pounds, an acre

2 lbs. 85 cts.
