Type: Pole Bean
Matures in: 65 days

Description:
The most popular pole bean of all. Long, round, slightly curved pods are borne in clusters. Stringless and tender when young, the medium-green pods are rich in flavor. Can be grown on poles, fences, or trellis.

SOWING:
Plant seed in late spring when the ground is warm. Do not rush planting of beans as a few cold, wet days at planting time may rot seed. Rough poles about 8 feet long are often used for vine support. Place poles 3 feet apart each way, then place 4 to 6 seeds around each pole. Cover seed with 1 inch of soil, well pressed down.

THINNING:
Thin when plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, leaving 3 or 4 of the strongest plants in each hill.

GERMINATION:
Germinates in 6 to 10 days depending on soil temperature and weather conditions.

REMARKS:
Pole beans may be grown on a fence or trellis and the seed planted in a row. Thin the young plants to 8 inches apart. For highest quality and yield, pick pods when young, about 4 to 5 inches long.
