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, their bear- 
ing season is longer and they are more easily gathered. They succeed best in 2 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 3 plants toa pole. By plecag the seed 
eyes down they will gerininate more quickly and for this reason are less liable to rot. Culti- 
vate frequently but shallow. 
This variety was introduced in 1922 and has rapidly gained favor be- 
Sunnybrook cause of its extreme earliness and abundance of medium sized, well 
filled pods of deep green color, having four and often five large thick, meaty, light green beans 
of the finest quality. The vines are of most vigorous growth and produce pods which are 
ready for picking earlier than any other large seeded pole lima. Qt. 60c; Pk., $3.25; bu., $12.00
