POLE ass BEANS 
Pole beans come into bearing later than bush beans, yield more heavily over a longer period and 
some produce bigger pods. Support must be given the vines, which grow 5 to 8 it. and more high, 
Young pods make delicious snap-shorts; also popular as green or dried shell beans. To many persons, 
pole beans have that good bean flavor that is lacking in some varieties of the bush type.

yellow bean. Pods are often sliced lengthwise for cooking. Plants start out to 
grow like a bush bean and set pods very early, then the runners shoot up and con- 
tinue to produce their tender pods of outstanding quality over a long period.

How to Grow Pole Beans 
Pole Beans should not be planted until all danger of frost is passed and the soil is warm and 
moderately dry. They do best if the vines are given support, the most frequently used being 
rough poles, spaced 3 to 4 ft. apart each way. Place 5 or 6 beans around each pole, cover with 
2 in. of soil. When plants are well started; thin so that 3 or 4 of the strongest remain toa pole. 
A packet of seed is enough for 15 poles, except Scarlet Runner, a pkt. of which is enough for 
8 poles. Pole Beans may also be planted 3 to 5 in. apart along a trellis or fence.
