POLE BEANS.

 Frijol vastago, Sp, 





CULTURE.— Pole Beans, especially Limas, require warm and very rich, loamy soil. Plant when the soil has become well 

 warmed through in spring. If planted in cold or soggy soil, the seed will rot. Use poles 5 to 8 feet long set in rows 4 feet 

 apart each way, or in drills, if wire t/ellis is used. Plant 4 to 6 Beans around each pole, and thin out to 3 plants to a pole, or 

 2 to 3. Beans may be planted in frills a foot apart under a wire trellis. Cultivate freely, and if possible top-dress around each hill 

 with small quantity of poultry manure, tompost or some good fertilizer. When hoeing, work this dressing well into the soil. 

 Sprouted Limas transplant easily. You can get a picking ahead of your neighbor's by starting the Beans under glass in April 

 and transplanting to open ground in proper season. One quart will plant 150 to 200 hills.
