Dreer’s Reliable VEGETABLE SEEDS 
Pole Lima Beans 
Culture —Pole Limas are even less hardy than the Bush type and should not be planted until toward 
the end of May or when all danger of frost is passed. Set the poles about 4 feet apart each way and 
plant 6 to 8 beans, eye downward, around each pole. When plants are up, thin out to 3 plants to a pole. 
Pinch off the ends when plants overrun 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.

Pole or Running Beans 
Culture —Pole Beans are vigorous growers and will produce 
a heavy crop of beans if grown on fertile ground which has 
been enriched with well-rotted manure or a complete fertilizer. 
As they are less hardy than the bush varieties start sowing 
about a week later. Set the poles 4 feet apart and place 
8 to 10 beans around each. Or they may be grown on a trellis. 
ree a tmproued One pound of seed is sufficient to plant 100 poles or hills.

quality in an extraordinary degree. The pods generally are borne in clusters of 2 or 4,
