POLE LIMA BEANS (SWen-Bohnen) 



One quart to 150 hills; 8 to 10 quarts to the acre. 



The pole varieties require a longer season to mature pods than the bush varieties, 

 but by reason of their stronger growth are more productive, and growing on poles 

 are more easily gathered. When planted in the garden, poles should be set 3 to 4 feet 

 apart each way. A shovelful of rich compost or well-rotted manure should be placed 

 in the soil at the base of the pole before planting the seed. Planting the beans' eye 

 down will be found of great advantage, as they will germinate and come up more 

 readily.
