BEANS, LIMA 



Farquhar's Worcester Pole Beans 



Culture. Pole Limas are even more tender than the dwarf type and should not be 

 planted until toward the end of May or when all danger of frost has passed. Set the 

 poles about 4 feet apart each way, and plant 4 to 6 Beans eye downward around each 

 pole. When the plants are up, thin out three plants to a pole, and when the vines 

 have reached the top of the pole, pinch them and so increase the yield. One quart of 

 Pole Limas will plant 75 to 100 hills. 



Bush Limas. Sow after May 15, and only if the ground is warm, in rows 214 feet 

 apart and about 2 inches deep, putting the Beans 2 inches apart in the row eye down, 

 later thinning so that the plants stand 6 to 8 inches apart. All Limas being gross feed- 

 ers, they should be sown on weU-enriched land. One quart of Dwarf Limas will plant 

 100 feet; s^bushel, 1 acre.
