POLE LIMA BEANS 
1 quart to 150 hills; 8 to 10 quarts per acre. 
Pole beans do not bear as early as the bush varieties but they are more productive, 
fheir bearing season is longer and they are more easily gathered. They succeed best in 
a warm sandy loam which has been enriched with well rotted manure. If poles are used 
they should be set three to four feet apart each way. After the ground has become warm 
and dry, plant 4 to 6 beans to a pole and when well started thin out to 2 or 8 plants to 
a pole. By placing the seed eyes down they will germinate more quickly and for this 
reason are less liable to rot. Cultivate frequently but shallow.
