POLE LIMA BEANS 
1 pt. to 100 ft.; 8 to 10 qts. per acre 
Pole beans do not bear as early as the bush varieties 
but they are more productive, their 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 about 2 feet apart, in rows 4 ft. apart. 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 3 plants 
to a pole. By placing the seed eyes down they will germi- 
nate more quickly and for this reason are less liable to 
rot. Cultivate frequently but shallow.
