POLE LIMA BEANS 
Culture; Pole limas prefer a warm, sandy loam soil with well-rotted stable manure. Do not plant until the ground is warm and 
moderately dry. Set poles 4 ft. each way, and plant 4 to 6 beans around each pole, placing them with the eye downward to encour- 
agé quick germination. Cover 2 in. deep. After the seedlings are well started, thin out, leaving 2 strong plants to each pole. Culti- 
vate shallow and frequently, and pinch off ends when plants over-run the tops of the poles. Use one packet to 10 poles; 1 Ib. to 
50 poles; 30 Ibs. to an acre. Small plantings may be made along a fence or trellis, putting several beans in a hill, one foot apart 
and later thinning to one strong plant, Such plantings would require 1 lb. to about 100 ft. of row. 
53 KING OF THE GARDEN 
The old reliable pole lima for home and market gardeners (88 days) 
Wherever pole lima beans are known, King of the Garden is almost certain to be one of the most popular 
and widely grown varieties. The vines are very sturdy in their growth, climbing to a height of from 6 to 10 
ft. and with a considerable spread of branches. The pods are from 5 to 7 in. in length and contain 5 or 6 large 
beans which are tender and of delicious flavor. Pods are borne close to the ground early in the season and 
higher up on the plant as the season progresses. Bearing will continue until frost has killed the vines. The 
continued popularity of King of the Garden, in spite of the competition offered by newer varieties, is really 
the only recommendation that should be needed to convince both home and market gardeners that it is a 
bean everyone should grow and one that can be grown with confidence. Our strain of King of the Garden 
has been carefully selected for uniformity, length of pod, earliness of maturity and hardiness. This selection, 
along with care in growing and harvesting, insures a satisfactory crop for our customers.
