GREEN PODDED POLE BEANS

or 4 people. 
CULTURE OF GREEN Poppep Poe BEANns. Pole beans are later 
in maturing than bush beans, but bear for a longer season, 
and are extremely productive, yielding more than bush beans, 
and also produce bigger pods. They are somewhat more tender 
than bush beans if harvested young. For best results, pole 
beans should be supported by wires or by good strong poles to 
keep them off the ground. Poles should be 8 to 9 feet above 
ground, and set firmly in the ground, in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, 
and three feet apart in the row. Plant three to four seeds 
around each pole. When plants are well established, thin to 
two or three plants to a pole. A better arrangement would be 
to place three or four poles tent fashion at 3 ft. spacings in 
the row, and then thin to one plant at a pole. In order to keep 
pole beans bearing over a long season, it is important to keep 
them closely picked. Inoculate bean seed with Nitragin for 
best results. (See page 49.) In order to control soil diseases 
and get a better stand, it is always desirable to treat bean seed 
with Spergon before planting. (See pages 49 and 59.) Pole 
beans are more susceptible to mildew, rust and other foliage 
diseases than are bush beans, and therefore should be sprayed 
with Sulfocide or dusted with sulphur quite often. (See page 59.)

KENTUCKY WONDER (Old Homestead). (65 days.) 
This is a popular, vigorous, hardy, climbing or pole bean, early, 
and very productive over a long season. Pods are very long, 
ranging from eight to ten inches, curved, nearly round, with 
undulating surface. Though thick, they appear slender on 
account of their great length. Pods are meaty, very brittle, 
and of good quality if harvested young. The pods hang in 
large clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine, and can 
be gathered by the handful. Our strain has been selected for 
productivity, earliness and freedom from flat pods.

McCASLAN. (65 days.) A prolific, white-seeded pole bean, 
of Georgia origin. The seeds being white in color may be 
used as a green shell bean, although this variety is used most 
extensively as snap beans when young. A very vigorous grower 
and heavy producer. The pods are dark green, eight inches 
long, large, flat, slightly curved, very thick and meaty, string- 
less, brittle and fine grained, and of excellent quality if har- 
vested young. Because of the high yield of large, attractive 
pods, this makes an excellent shipping bean for the markets. 
Well adapted for planting in corn during the spring months.
