 Pole Beans. 



Stangen Bo/men, Ger. Haricots a rames, Fr. Frijol vastago, Sp. 



One quart will plant about one hundred hills. 



These require poles 8 to 10 feet 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 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, well incorporated. Lima Beans for early use may be 

 grown in frames and transplanted.
