CULTURE. —These require poles 8 to 10 leet long. The Beans should 
be planted 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. Thin out to 3 plants to a pole, 
if the soil is rich; pinch off the ends of plants when they overrun the top of the i 
£| poles, to effect more perfect growth below. They succeed best in sandy loam, with 
a shovelful of rich, light and well-rotted compost to each hill, we.! incorporated, 
Lima Beans for early use may be grown in frames and transplanted
