CULTURE.— These require poles 8 to 10 feet long. The Benns 

 should be planted the middle of May if the season is suitable. 

 Lima B,eans are apt to rot if planted loo early. Set poles 4 feet 

 apart each way, and plant 4 to 6 Beans, aliout 1 inch deep, around 

 each pole. Thin out to 3 plants to a pole, if the soil is rich ; pinch 

 off the ends of plants when they overrun the top of the poles, to 

 effect more perfect growth below. They succeed best in sandy 

 loam, with a shovelful of rich, light and well-rotled compost to 

 each hill, well incorporated. Lima Beans for early use may be 

 grown in frames and transplanted.
