POLE BEANS 
Vitamins B G 
A woven wire fence makes an ideal support for pole 
beans, or you can use poles. Another way is to set 
posts at each end of the row; between them run a wire 
4 to 5 ft. above the ground and another just above the 
row. Stout string run up and down between the wires 
will act as a support for the beans. If rows are long, 
additional posts may be required. 
Many find that Early Leviathan Limas, blossoming 
over a longer period, yield much better than the bush 
limas. 
Kentucky Wonder is probably the best known of any 
pole snap bean but we like Scotia better. It produces a 
ea straighter pod and holds in edible condition 
onger.

DRY BEANS FOR BAKING 
Vitamins B G 
Our ancestors knew how to beat the high cost of liv- 
ing. They substituted beans for meat. Michelite and 
Perry Marrow have been bred for disease resistance, 
yield and baking quality. 
The Red Kidney may be baked like Michelite or 
boiled and combined with meat in Spanish dishes. 
Some prefer to shell the Red Kidney before it is ripe 
and can the beans for winter use.

150 seeds per oz. Pkt. will plant 50 ft. row. Plants 
small with short runners; three to four days earlier

inspected and rogued several times during the growing season if 
high quality seed is to be produced.
