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 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 pole. By placing the seed 

 eyes down they will germinate more quickly and for this reason are less liable to rot. Culti- 

 vate frequently but shallow.

 can be planted closer in the rows. They are therefore used by large growers and by gard-

 has become warm, plant in 3 ft, rows.dropping 3 seeds to a hill and the hills 15 inches apart.
