POLE BEANS.

Stangen Bohnen, Ger. Haricots a rames, Fr. 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 more 

 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 eye downwards, and thin out to 3 plants to a pole, if the soil is rich; pinch off 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 incorporated. Lima Beans for early use may be grown in frames and transplanted*
