BEANS, POLE OR RUNNING. — 
One quart will plant about one hundred and fifty hills. 
The planting of the various sorts of Pole Beans should 
be delayed a week or more after the first planting of the 
early dwarf sorts. The Limas, being very tender, will do 
better if not planted in the open ground before the first 
of June. Plant in hills about 3 feet apart, and 1 or 2 
inches deep, using five or six seeds to each hill, and set 
a pole firmly in the center. Manure liberally in the hill 
with well-composted fertilizer. Thin the plants, leaving 
three in each hill. Beans of a flat shape should be 
placed in the soil with the eye down; planted thus they 
come up more readily.
