Vines are vigorous climbers which bear 7" round pods containing buff-colored seeds splashed with brown. Pkt. "In our gardens, these produced faster for us than the kentucky wonders. They also ended earlier, and I thought they were easier to pick, because the vines are a bit more sparse than some other beans." -Radish Bruce

CULTURE: Pole beans usually bear later than bush beans and generally give higher yields. Poles or other means of support should be at least 8’ high. Sow 6 to 8 seeds, 1” deep around the base of each pole. Corn plants may be used as bean poles. We recommend using ‘Hickory King’ corn. Note: Only certain varieties of beans are shade tolerant and adapted to growing in corn. PACKET: 1 oz or 28 g, unless stated (about 125 to 225 seeds depending on variety, average 150 seeds) sows 25 to 45 poles.
