Beckerfs Seed Store, 101 and 103 Federal St., N. S., Pittsburgh, Pa. VEGETABLE SEEDS. Kentucky Wonder Beans Limas. Does best in cool sections. EDIBLE-PODDED POLE BEANS The Pole or Running Beans are not quite as hardy as the Bush Beans and should be planted later, after the soil is warmer and the weather more settled. The seed is commonly sown in slightly raised hills, 5 to 6 feet apart, four or five seeds to the hill, and the vines trained on stout poles standing 6 to 8 feet high. Another very good method is to sow the seed in rows, thinning the plants to stand about 1 foot apart and then training each vine up a string or wire running from a stake at the base to a horizontal pole or wire above. A single horizontal may be made to serve two rows, tent-fashion. The yield is increased if the tips of the vines are pinched back when they are about 5 feet high. Although the Pole Beans do not ripen as early as the Bush varieties, they are much more productive, con- tinuing to bear until frost, if kept picked. One pound of seed will plant about 100 hills.
