POLE BEANS 
CULTURE: Pole beans need a warmer, richer soil | 
than the bush varieties, and a longer growing sea- 
son. They should be set out about 3 feet apart each | 
way, planting 3 or 4 beans to a hill and thinning | 
to 2 plants to each pole after vines are started up 
their supports. The cornfield types may be planted 
along the rows of corn, and will climb up the corn | 
stalks.
