These are more tender than the dwarf beans, and planting should be delayed about a week longer. 

 Lima and iSieva Beans are not usually planted till the first of June. The soil should be thoroughly en- 

 riched with line manure, and the beaiis planted in hills about four feet apart. Set a stout stake about 

 eight feet long, firmly in the centre of each hill, leaving four plants to a hill. One quart of seed will 

 plant about one hundred and fifty hills; ten to twelve quarts to one acre.
