CULTURE.— Pole Beans especially Limas, require warm and very rich, loamy soil. Plant when the soil has become well 

 warmed through in spring. If planted in cold or soggy soil, the seed will rot. Use poles 5 to 8 feet long set in rows 4 feet apart 

 each way, or in drills, if wire trellis is used. Plant 4 to 6 Beans around each pole, and thin out to 3 plants to a pole or '^ to 3 

 Beans may be planted in hills a foot apart under a wire trellis. Cultivate freely, and if possible top-dress around each hilf « ith 

 small quantity of poultry manure, compost or some good fertilizer. ^Vhen hoeing, work this dressing well into the soil Sprouted 

 Limas transplant easily. \ou can get a picking a he.nd of your neighbors by starting the Beans under glass in April and trans- 

 planting to open ground in proper season. One quart will plant 150 to 200 hills.

 maturity and increasing the yield.
