A Garden sunnestion.

A good way to plant pole beans is
with sweet corn, says Country Life in
America. Plant the beans in the same
hill with the corn (after the corn is
up); and the beans Chamber all over

vested. 1t saves the bother and ex-
pense of poles, and we think corn
stalks look better than bean poles.
