POLE LIMA BEANS 



Haricots a rames, Fr. 

 Frijol vastago, Sp. 



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 256.
