tricorn. POLE LIMA BE INS trier sosteen, 
CULTURE.—Pole Limas do best in a sandy loam, and if season is suitable, may be planted about May Ist. 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 
toa 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 224.
