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 

 Fordhook more productive, their bearing season is longer and they are n»° r e 

 Bush Lima, easily gathered. Thev 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 3 plants to a polo. By placing the 

 seed eyes down they will germinate more quickly and for this 

 reason are less liable to rot. Cultivate frequently but shallow.

These varieties require no support, are about two weeks earlier than the pole beans, and can be planted closer in 

 the rows. They are therefore used by large growers and by gardeners who do not find it convenient to use poles. 

 After danger of frost is past and the ground has become warm, plant in 3 ft. rows dropping 3 seeds to a hill and 

 the hills 15 inches apart.
