Pa | eC Li ma Bea WiS— For 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, tain out to 3 plants to a 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.
