Plant about the beginning of May. The Lima Beans are very suscep- 

 tible of cold and wet, and apt to rot in the ground, and should not be 

 planted until the season is favorable-and the ground warm. Fix poles 

 in the ground four feet apart each way, and plant four to six beans about 

 an inch deep around each pole. A Shovel-full of rich, light, and well- 

 rotted compost to each hill is necessary. They may be forwarded much 

 earlier by sprouting them in a frame, under glass, and planting them 

 out -when the weather becomes mild, as they bear transplanting without 

 any difficulty. The Horticultural and German "Wax Bean are superior 

 varieties, either as snap-shorts or shelled.

 grown the rows should be wide enough apart to cultivate with a horse hoe.
