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, 

 tu 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.
