CULTURE. — Pole Limas do best in a sandy loam, and if season is suitable, may be planted about May 1st. Set the poles 

 about 4 feet apart each way and plant 4 to 6 beans, eye downward around each pole, and when plants are up, thin out to 3 plants 

 to a pole. Pinch off the ends when plants over-run the top of the poles. It is well to use a shovelful of rich, light, well-rotted 

 compost to each hill. One pound of seed will plant 75 to 100 hills. Material for inoculating Lima Beans will 

 be found offered on page 223.
