Culture—Pole Beans are rank 
growers and they yield heavily 
on fertile, well-enriched ground. 
Start planting about a week 
later than the bush varieties, 
since they are less hardy. Set 
the poles 3 to 4 ft. apart and 
plant six to eight beans 1% to 
2 ins. deep, thinning to the four 
strongest when well started. 
They may be planted in rows 
6 ins. apart and supported by 
wire fences or trellises. So popu- 
lar in the South that most grow- 
ers use one or more of these va- 
rieties in their garden. The corn- 
field varieties are planted in the 
corn and allowed to run up the 
stalks, — ;
