A New England farmer says: "In my own gardening I have found a most
satisfactory substitute for bean poles, which latter are not only expensive,
but a source of trouble and care. I plant a sunflower seed by each hill of
beans, the stock answering the same purpose as the ordinary bean pole,
besides providing an excellent feed for my poultry. I have been using for
this purpose a mammoth variety of sunflower seed, many of the flowers of
which measured fifteen inches across the seed bed." The Farm and
Household Cyclopędia - circa 1888
