> ole Lima Beans—r- Extra-Heavy Crops 
Culture — Pole Limas are even less hardy than the Bush type and should not be planted until toward 
the end of May or when all danger of frost is past. Set the poles about 4 feet apart each way and 
plant 6 to 8 beans, eye downward, around each pole. When plants are up, thin out to 3 plants toa pole. 
Pinch off the ends when plants overrun the top of the poles. It is good practice to use a shovelful of 
rich, light, well-rotted compost to each hill. One pound of seed will plant 75 to 100 hills.

Pole or Running Beans 
Culture —Pole Beans are vigorous growers and will produce a heavy crop of beans if grown on 
fertile ground which has been enriched with well-rotted manure or a complete fertilizer. As they are 
less hardy than the bush varieties start sowing about a week later. One pound of seed is sufficient to 
plant 100 poles or hills. :

quality to an extraordinary degree. The pods generally are borne in clusters of 2 to 4,
