DREER'S RELIABLE SEEDS 



Stangen Bohnen, Ger. Haricots a rames^ Fr. Frijol vastago, Sp. 



One quart will plant about one hundred and fifty hills. 



All under this head require poles 8 to 10 feet long, and should not be planted until the ground is warm, as they are tnore tender 

 than the dwarf varieties. Plant about the middle of May if the season is suitable. Lima Beans are apt to rot if planted too early. 

 Set poles 4 feet apart each way, and plant 4 to 6 beans about 1 inch deep around each pole. When sowing Lima Beans place the 

 eye downwards, and thin out to 3 plants to a pole, if the soil is rich ; pinch off the ends when the plants 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-roUed 

 ■compost to each hill, well incorporated. Lima Beans for early use may be grown in frames and transplanted.

 good as a snap-short or shelled in the green or dry state.

This is without exception the bi;st Pole Bean. It bears pro- 

 fusely its long golden-yellow pods in clusters of three to six from 

 bottom to top of pole, and continues in bearing from the middle 

 of July till the vines are cut by frost. In all the points requisite
