DREER'S RELIABLE SEEDS. 



POLE BEANS. 



Slangen Bohnen, Ger. Haricots & rames, Fk. Frijol vastago, Sp. 

 One quart will plant about one hundred and fifty hills. 



All under this head require poles 8 to 10 feet long, and should not be planted until the ground is warm, as they are 

 move tender than the dwarf varieties. Plant about 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. 

 When sowing Lima Beans place the eve downwards, and thin out to 3 plants to a pole, if the soil is rich ; pinch oil the 

 ends when the plants 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 incDrporated. Lima Beans for early use 

 may be grown in frames and transplanted.
