POLE BEANS. 



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 trellis 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 hills a foot apart under 

 a wire trellis. Cultivate freely, and if possible top-dress around 

 each hill with small quantity of poultry manure, compost 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.
